| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) I have already finished my homework, so I can join you for cricket now. | (II) already | Already means before now. It goes with “have finished” to show that the work is done. |
| (B) The courier has not arrived yet, so please stay at home till noon. | (IV) yet | Yet means up to now. It is used in a negative sentence (“has not arrived”) for something we are still waiting for. |
| (C) Without her glasses, Nani can hardly read the small print on the medicine strip. | (III) hardly | Hardly means almost not. Without glasses, small print is very difficult to read. |
| (D) Shreya’s elder brother lives abroad and comes home only for Diwali. | (I) abroad | Abroad means in another country. It tells where he lives. |
