| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) Ramesh twisted his ankle while he was jumping across the open drain. | (III) while | While means “during the time that”. The ankle was hurt at the same time as the jump. |
| (B) The school library will not issue you a new book unless you return the old one. | (IV) unless | Unless means “if not”. If you do not return the old book, you get no new one. |
| (C) Wear your raincoat on the scooter, otherwise your uniform will be soaked by the time you reach. | (II) otherwise | Otherwise gives a warning. It means “if you do not, then”. Without the raincoat, the uniform gets wet. |
| (D) Neha has been learning Kathak since she was seven. | (I) since | Since here means “from that time in the past till now”. “Has been learning” shows the lessons are still going on. |
