| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) I know I'm already in my 40s, but I never imagined that I would need glasses. | (III) already/never | "Already" shows that the speaker has reached his 40s by now. "Never imagined" means did not think at any time, which suits "but". |
| (B) I just kept trying to read the newspaper by holding it further away. | (I) just/further | "Just kept trying" means he only went on trying. Holding the paper "further away" is what a person with weak near sight does. |
| (C) I really had to decide whether to get longer arms or a pair of reading glasses, | (IV) longer/reading | A light joke: longer arms would let him hold the paper further away. Reading glasses are the real solution. |
| (D) Eventually, I chose the easier solution. | (II) eventually/easier | "Eventually" means in the end, after some time. Getting glasses is the easier choice. |
