Parts of Speech Matching Solution

This solution details the process of matching words with their correct parts of speech.

Identify Parts of Speech

Each word from List I is analyzed to determine its grammatical function:

  • (a) Absence: This word signifies a state or condition (the state of not being present). Thus, 'Absence' is a Noun.
  • (b) Busy: This word describes a noun, indicating a state of being occupied (e.g., "a busy schedule"). Therefore, 'Busy' is an Adjective.
  • (c) Develop: This word denotes an action or process (e.g., "to develop a plan"). Hence, 'Develop' is a Verb.
  • (d) Greatly: This word modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb, often indicating extent (e.g., "greatly improved"). The '-ly' suffix typically indicates an Adverb.

Match Lists and Verify Answer

Based on the identification, we match the items from List I to List II:

  • (a) Absence matches with (iv) Noun.
  • (b) Busy matches with (iii) Adjective.
  • (c) Develop matches with (i) Verb.
  • (d) Greatly matches with (ii) Adverb.

This exact matching corresponds to option (D).
