The correct matching is:
- (A) Provoke - (III) Incite
- (B) Obstruct - (I) Prevent
- (C) Infringe - (IV) Encroach
- (D) Evade - (II) Dodge
Here's why:
- Provoke and incite both mean to deliberately cause someone to become angry or upset, often to take action.
- Obstruct and prevent both mean to hinder or stop something from happening.
- Infringe and encroach both mean to trespass on someone's rights or territory.
- Evade and dodge both mean to avoid something skillfully or deliberately, often by moving quickly.
