| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) There is not much space in the hospital lift, so only four people can get in at a time. | (III) much | Much means a large amount. It goes with uncountable nouns, and “space” cannot be counted. |
| (B) The coach checks every player’s shoes before the kabaddi match. | (IV) every | Every means all the members of a group, one by one. It comes before a singular noun (“player’s”). |
| (C) The shop near our school sold fewer umbrellas this year than last year because the monsoon was weak. | (II) fewer | Fewer means a smaller number. “Umbrellas” can be counted, and “than last year” compares two numbers. |
| (D) The old peepal tree by the river lost its biggest branch in last night’s storm. | (I) its | Its shows that something belongs to a thing. The branch belongs to the tree. |
