| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) As the dust storm came closer, Mother suggested closing all the windows. | (II) closing | Suggest + -ing form: “suggest” is followed by the -ing form, not by “to” + verb. |
| (B) The watchman refused to unlock the gate after ten o’clock at night. | (IV) to unlock | Refuse + to-verb: “refuse” is followed by “to” + the base form. |
| (C) Please do not bang the door so hard when you go out. | (III) bang | Do not + base form: after the helping verb “do”, the main verb takes the base form without “to”. |
| (D) Someone has locked the store room, and the key is missing. | (I) locked | Has + past participle (V3): after “has”, the main verb takes the V3. |
