| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) Having finished her night shift at the hospital, | (II) the nurse took an auto home. | Having + past participle (V3) ..., + main part. “Having finished” shows that the first action was over before the second. The opening belongs to the subject, and “the nurse” is the one who finished the shift. |
| (B) Such was the noise of the crackers on Diwali night | (I) that our dog hid under the bed till morning. | Such was + noun ... that. “Such was the noise” tells how loud the noise was. The “that” part gives the result. |
| (C) Mohit’s handwriting is clear enough | (IV) to read from the last bench. | Adjective + enough + to + verb. “Clear enough” is completed by “to” + verb: “to read”. |
| (D) Whether it rains or not, | (III) the school sports day will be held on Saturday. | Whether ... or not, + main part. It means the main part will happen in either case. The sports day will be held, rain or no rain. |
