List-I (Sentences)

List-II (Pairs of words)

Explanation    

(A) _____ marriages were arranged, but that has ____ changed now.

(III) traditionally/somewhat

Traditionally sets the past context, and somewhat (partially/to a certain degree) describes the extent of the change.

(B) He did the test so ____, that he didn't ____ finish a part of it.

(I) carelessly/even

Carelessly describes the manner of doing the test, and even is used for emphasis to suggest an unexpected consequence (not finishing).

(C) Although he was dressed ____ he wasn't ____ relaxed.

(IV) casually/very

Casually describes the manner of dressing, and very (much/extremely) describes the degree of his relaxation (or lack thereof).

(D) _____ each player is good, but they don't play well  _______ as a team.

(II) individually/enough

Individually (on a per-person basis) provides a strong contrast to "as a team." The word enough modifies "well," implying their collective performance falls short of the required standard.
