| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) Little did the young goalkeeper know | (III) that the national coach was watching him from the stands. | Little did + subject + know ... that. “Little did” at the start means he did not know at all. The “that” part tells what he did not know. |
| (B) Should the school van not arrive by seven, | (IV) Dadaji will drop the children at school on his scooter. | Should + subject + verb (no “if”). It means “If the school van does not arrive”. The main part tells what will happen then, so it takes “will”. |
| (C) Rehana wore the same green lehenga | (I) as she had worn at her sister’s engagement. | The same + noun ... as. “The same green lehenga” is completed by “as”: “as she had worn”. |
| (D) The light switch in the new flat was too high for little Chintu | (II) to reach without a stool. | Too + adjective + for someone + to + verb. “Too high for little Chintu” is completed by “to reach”. It means he could not reach it. |
