A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II

A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

A-I, B-III, C-IV, D-II

Correct Answer:

A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

Explanation:

Therefore, the correct answer is A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

A. adamant - This means being unyielding or inflexible. The antonym for adamant would be "flexible," so A matches with III.

B. acrimonious - This means bitter or hostile in nature. The antonym for acrimonious would be "quiet" in the sense of being calm and peaceful, so B matches with I.

C. capable - This means having the ability or skill to do something. The antonym for capable would be "incompetent" meaning lacking the ability or skill, so C matches with IV.

D. docile - This means easily managed or obedient. The antonym for docile would be "ferocious" in the sense of being fierce or aggressive, so D matches with II.
