| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) She hardly knows anything about me. | (III) hardly | Hardly means almost not. "She hardly knows anything" means she knows very little about me. |
| (B) Evidently the figures mentioned in the report are incorrect. | (IV) evidently | Evidently means as can be plainly seen. It opens a sentence that states an obvious conclusion. |
| (C) You are missed dearly by all of us. | (II) dearly | Dearly means very much, with deep feeling. "Missed dearly" is the fixed pairing. |
| (D) He fared poorly in his exams. | (I) poorly | Poorly means badly. To fare poorly is to do badly. |
