List-I	List-II	Explanation
(A) Pun	(III) After baking through the whole night before Diwali, the tired baker said that he really kneaded a holiday.	A pun is a play on a word that has two meanings, or on two words that sound alike. “Kneaded” means pressed and worked dough, which a baker does all night. It sounds just like “needed”. So the baker both kneaded dough and needed a holiday.
(B) Anaphora	(I) Every morning Dadi sweeps the yard, every afternoon she feeds the cows, and every evening she lights a diya near the tulsi.	Anaphora is the same word or words repeated at the start of clauses that follow one another. “Every” opens all three parts: “every morning”, “every afternoon” and “every evening”.
(C) Litotes	(IV) Scoring a century in his very first Ranji Trophy match was not a bad start for Varun.	Litotes is an understatement that says something positive by putting “not” or “no” before its opposite. “Not a bad start” really means a very good start.
(D) Irony	(II) The boy who won the school prize for an essay on saving water left the school tap running all afternoon.	In irony, the opposite of what we expect happens. The boy who wrote the best essay on saving water is the one who wastes it.
