Match List - I and List - II and identify the correct code: Codes:List - I List - II a. World Health Day i. 16th September b. World Population Day ii. 1st December c. World Ozone Day iii. 11th July d. World AIDS Day iv. 7th April
a-iv, b-iii, c-i, d-ii
Matching questions are quickest when the pair you are surest of is fixed first and the codes are then used to eliminate.
Item a, World Health Day, is 7th April, which is (iv). The date marks the founding of the World Health Organization in 1948, and each year the WHO chooses a theme highlighting a priority health concern.
Item b, World Population Day, is 11th July, which is (iii). It was established by the United Nations Development Programme in 1989, inspired by the day in July 1987 on which the world's population was estimated to have reached five billion.
Item c, World Ozone Day, is 16th September, which is (i). Its full name is the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer, and the date commemorates the signing of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer in 1987.
Item d, World AIDS Day, is 1st December, which is (ii). Observed since 1988, it is used to raise awareness of HIV and AIDS and to remember those who have died of the disease; the red ribbon is its symbol.
The combination is therefore a-iv, b-iii, c-i, d-ii, which is the second code.
A quick route to the same place, if only some of the dates are known, is to fix World AIDS Day at 1st December - probably the most widely known of the four - which requires d to be matched with (ii). Only the second code does that, so the answer follows without checking the other three pairs.
Hence the correct match is a-iv, b-iii, c-i, d-ii.
