| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) Dadi knows sweets are bad for her, but she cannot resist eating a laddoo at every wedding. | (III) eating | Resist + -ing form: “resist” is followed by the -ing form, not by “to” + verb. |
| (B) The shopkeeper threatened to call the police if the boys broke his window again. | (IV) to call | Threaten + to-verb: “threaten” is followed by “to” + the base form. |
| (C) Did you feed the cat before you left for school? | (I) feed | Did + base form: after the helping verb “did”, the main verb takes the base form without “to”. |
| (D) The monkeys have plucked almost every guava from our tree. | (II) plucked | Have + past participle (V3): after “have”, the main verb takes the V3. |
