(A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)

Correct Answer:

(A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)

Explanation:

The correct answer is OPTION 3 -(A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)

(A) "Boys boots are big so when boys jump" - This does not contain a clear figure of speech but suggests an action. It could potentially relate to (I) alliteration since "Boys boots" has a repeated initial consonant sound, but it's a bit of a stretch.
(B) "The sweet curd tasted like ice cream" - This compares sweet curd to ice cream using "like," making it a (II) simile.
(C) "The timid fighter stole our heart" - This uses a descriptive phrase to convey an emotion but does not literally mean the fighter is timid while it creates a contrast; this represents an (III) oxymoron (combining contradictory terms).
(D) "The big umbrella was our only shade" - This is a straightforward statement. It could relate to (IV) metaphor by implying it is more than just an umbrella providing shade; it can signify protection.
