So the correct answer is (A) - (IV), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (III).

Here is the explanation for each match:

  • Fish are animals that live in water. They cannot survive out of water, so the saying "fish out of water" means someone who is not in their element or who is uncomfortable in a particular situation.
  • Necessity is the need for something. The saying "necessity is the mother of invention" means that people are more likely to be creative and resourceful when they need to be.
  • Corrupt means dishonest or morally wrong. The saying "corrupt practices bring downfall" means that if people engage in dishonest or wrong behavior, it will eventually lead to their downfall.
  • Birds are animals that fly. The saying "birds of the same feather flock together" means that people who are similar to each other tend to be drawn to each other.
