| (A) Haste makes waste, so it's better to take your time and do things carefully. | (II) Haste makes waste | This proverb warns that doing things in a hurry leads to mistakes, and the mistakes waste the time, money or effort that hurrying was meant to save. The sentence draws the same lesson: "take your time and do things carefully". | He rushed through the test and made silly errors. Haste makes waste. |
| (B) After being betrayed, Radha is very cautious when it comes to making friends because once bitten, twice shy. | (III) Once bitten, twice shy | This proverb says that a person who has been hurt once becomes extra careful so as not to be hurt the same way again. Radha was betrayed once, so she is now cautious about new friendships. | After losing money in one scheme, he refused every new offer: once bitten, twice shy. |
| (C) She reminded him that a stitch in time saves nine, so he should get the leak in the roof fixed before the problem escalates. | (IV) A stitch in time saves nine | This proverb means that fixing a small problem at once saves far more work later: one stitch now prevents nine stitches when the tear grows. A small leak repaired now will not become a large, costly one. | Revise a little every day. A stitch in time saves nine. |
| (D) The teacher often said, too many cooks spoil the broth when many students tried to work on the same project. | (I) Too many cooks spoil the broth | This proverb means that when too many people handle the same task, each with their own ideas, the result is spoiled. Many students working on one project would get in each other's way. | Everyone kept changing the poster design, and it looked worse each time. Too many cooks spoil the broth. |
