UGC NET 2018 Paper 1 Question Paper (8-Jul-2018)
The correct answer is

(a)-(iv), (b)-(v), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iii), (e)-(i)

To solve this matching problem, we need to correctly associate each sensory mode from Set-I with the corresponding illustrative speech in Set-II. Here's the breakdown:

  1. Sight mode: The phrase "That looks good to me." relates to sight because it refers to something visual.
  2. Hearing mode: The phrase "That sounds fine to me." corresponds to hearing because it mentions sound.
  3. Touch mode: The phrase "I can't put my finger on the problem." is related to touch because it talks about physically touching something.
  4. Smell mode: The expression "Something is fishy." can be linked to the sense of smell, as it implies an unusual or off-putting smell often associated with fishiness.
  5. Taste mode: "It leaves a bad taste in my mouth." clearly refers to taste since it mentions the taste experience directly.

Based on the analysis above, the correct matching is:

  • (a) Sight mode - (iv) That looks good to me.
  • (b) Hearing mode - (v) That sounds fine to me.
  • (c) Touch mode - (ii) I can't put my finger on the problem.
  • (d) Smell mode - (iii) Something is fishy.
  • (e) Taste mode - (i) It leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Therefore, the correct answer is: (a)-(iv), (b)-(v), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iii), (e)-(i).
