| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) At work you need staunch allies who won't let you down. | (IV) staunch | Staunch means loyal and firm in support. Staunch allies will not let you down. |
| (B) His scrupulous honesty is a quality I greatly admire. | (I) scrupulous | Scrupulous means very careful to be honest and do what is right. "Scrupulous honesty" is a common pairing. |
| (C) I don't know why she was so deeply critical of him; it seemed very unfair. | (II) deeply | The blank comes before the adjective "critical", so it needs an adverb. Deeply means strongly, very much. |
| (D) Raj and Sameer were bitter rivals at work, but seemed to get on well outside of the office. | (III) bitter | Bitter rivals are rivals full of strong ill feeling. "But ... get on well outside" shows the contrast. |
