Correct Answer:

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

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) - A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV

  • A. ________ cats love comfort. → No Article (III)
    When referring to a general category (cats in general), no article is used.

  • B. He was ________ first man to arrive. → the (I)
    "First" is a superlative, and we always use "the" before superlatives.

  • C. One evening _______ beggar came to my door. → a (II)
    "A" is used before singular countable nouns when introducing something for the first time.

  • D. Have you never seen ________ elephant? → an (IV)
    "An" is used before vowel sounds (elephant starts with a vowel sound).
