Answer & explanation

The correct answer is Option (3) → (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)
| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) Little did Kabir know | (III) that his sister had planned the surprise party all by herself. | Little did + subject + know is followed by a “that” clause. “His” refers to Kabir, so this ending fits only here. |
| (B) Not only did the new librarian arrange the books by subject, | (I) but she also started a reading corner for the juniors. | Not only did + subject + verb needs a second part with but ... also. “She” is the librarian. |
| (C) On reaching the exam centre, | (II) show your admit card to the guard at the gate. | On + -ing is followed by the main part of the sentence. Here it is an order to the reader, and the reader is the one who reaches the centre. |
| (D) The reason Dadi stopped buying milk from the corner dairy was | (IV) that its owner had been adding water to it. | The reason ... was is followed by a “that” clause. “Its” refers to the dairy, and watered milk is a clear reason to stop buying it. |
