List-I	List-II	Explanation
(A) On her first day at the new school, Neha ate her lonely tiffin in a corner of the playground.	(III) Transferred epithet	A transferred epithet moves a describing word from a person to a thing linked to them. Neha is the one who feels lonely, but the word “lonely” is put on her tiffin.
(B) Arjun’s poem was first read out in class, then printed in the school magazine, and at last it won a national prize.	(I) Climax	In a climax, ideas are arranged in rising order of importance. The poem goes from the class, to the school magazine, to a national prize.
(C) After the Kedarnath trek, my legs ached so badly that I could not stand up for a year.	(IV) Hyperbole	Hyperbole is a big exaggeration made for effect. Nobody’s legs hurt “for a year” after a trek. The speaker only means the pain was very bad.
(D) Dispur has announced free bicycles for every girl in Class 9 across Assam.	(II) Metonymy	Metonymy uses the name of one thing for something closely linked to it. “Dispur” is the city where the Assam government works, and here it stands for that government.
