List-I	List-II	Explanation
(A) Antithesis	(III) In the city, people often have big houses and small hearts; in the village, small houses and big hearts.	In antithesis, two opposite ideas are placed side by side in a balanced way. “Big houses and small hearts” in the city is set against “small houses and big hearts” in the village.
(B) Onomatopoeia	(I) Mustard seeds crackled and popped in the hot oil as Amma began the tadka.	Onomatopoeia is a word that sounds like the sound it names. “Crackled” and “popped” copy the sound of mustard seeds in hot oil.
(C) Personification	(IV) Every afternoon, the lazy river stretched itself out under the bridge, in no hurry to reach the sea.	Personification gives human qualities or actions to a thing. A river cannot feel lazy or stretch itself, but here it rests like a person after lunch.
(D) Synecdoche	(II) When the last over began, every eye in the packed stadium was fixed on young Arjun.	In synecdoche, a part stands for the whole. “Every eye” stands for every person in the stadium.
