| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) Such was the heat in the tin-roofed classroom | (IV) that we kept splashing water on our faces. | Such was + noun ... that. The “that” part gives the result of the heat. |
| (B) Having forgotten her umbrella at home, | (III) Shreya waited under a shop awning till the rain stopped. | Having + past participle (V3), then the main part. The main part needs the person who forgot the umbrella as its subject: “Shreya”. |
| (C) Not until the fireworks stopped | (II) did our cat come out from under the bed. | Not until + clause, did + subject + verb. The main part puts “did” before “our cat”. |
| (D) So thick was the fog on the highway | (I) that the trucks crawled along with their headlights on. | So + adjective + was + subject ... that. The “that” part gives the result of the thick fog on the highway. |
