| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) Since he got that haircut, I can barely recognize him. | (III) barely | Barely means only just, almost not. The haircut has changed his looks so much that he is hard to recognise. |
| (B) On the day of the performance, Sam played the piano more skillfully than Thomas. | (IV) skillfully | Skillfully means with skill. It describes how well someone plays and fits the comparison "more ... than". |
| (C) How will we reach home on time? The bus is going rather slowly. | (I) slowly | Slowly means at a low speed. A slow bus is why they worry about being late. |
| (D) It was raining so heavily that many drains started overflowing. | (II) heavily | Heavily means in large amounts. Heavy rain makes drains overflow. |
