| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) We searched everywhere for Papa’s car keys, and then found them in his own pocket. | (II) everywhere | Everywhere means in every place. It tells where we searched. |
| (B) My uncle cannot digest oily food, so he seldom eats at roadside dhabas. | (I) seldom | Seldom means not often. Oily food upsets him, so he rarely eats at dhabas. |
| (C) The bus driver braked sharply when a cow walked onto the road, and we all fell forward. | (IV) sharply | Sharply means suddenly and with force. That is why everyone fell forward. |
| (D) Is the water in the bucket warm enough for the baby’s bath? | (III) enough | Enough means as much as is needed. It comes after the adjective: “warm enough”. |
