Correct Answer:

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

Explanation:

The correct matching of the phrasal verbs with their meanings is:

List - I |            List – II

(A) Pull down |     (III) demolish a structure
(B) Pull through |  (IV) recover from illness
(C) Bring round |   (II) to make one agree
(D) Taken aback |   (I) be surprised

Here's why:

  • Pull down typically refers to the physical act of demolishing or destroying a structure.
  • Pull through usually indicates overcoming a difficult situation, particularly illness.
  • Bring round often means to persuade or convince someone, hence "to make one agree."
  • Taken aback implies surprise or shock, usually in a negative way.
