| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) This year the school canteen sold fewer samosas than last year because of the new fruit counter. | (III) fewer | Fewer means a smaller number. It goes with countable plural nouns, and “than last year” shows a comparison. |
| (B) The milkman rings our bell every morning at six. | (IV) every | Every goes with a singular noun. “Every morning” means on all mornings, one after another. |
| (C) Riya speaks such good Tamil that people think she grew up in Madurai. | (I) such | Such + adjective + noun is followed by “that” and a result. “Tamil” is uncountable, so there is no “a”. |
| (D) Take plenty of water with you. The trek to Triund is long, and there are no shops on the way. | (II) plenty of | Plenty of means more than enough. “No shops on the way” shows we must carry a lot of water. |
