Directions: Match List I with List II and select the answer using the code given below the Lists:List I
(Word/Expression)List II
(Meaning)A. Ensue 1. Muddy ground B. Morass 2. Complex disputes C. Imbroglio 3. Collection of different things D. Potpourri 4. To happen as a result
Code:
A B C D
To solve this problem, we need to match the words/expressions in List I with their correct meanings in List II:
- Ensue: This word means "to happen as a result." In the context of something following or resulting from an event, "ensue" is the appropriate term. Therefore, the correct match is 4.
- Morass: This term generally refers to "muddy ground" or swampy land. Moreover, it can metaphorically describe a complex or confusing situation that is difficult to escape from. Given the options related to literal meanings, "muddy ground" is suitable. Thus, the correct match is 1.
- Imbroglio: This term describes a complicated or confusing situation, often involving disputes or misunderstandings. The best match here is option 2, which refers to "complex disputes."
- Potpourri: This refers to a collection or mixture of various things, typically dried petals mixed with spices or a medley of things. Hence, the correct match is 3.
Combining these matches gives us the code A, B, C, D as 4, 1, 2, 3. Therefore, the correct answer is 4 1 2 3.
