Hint:

In questions matching authors and books, even if one pair seems incorrect or unfamiliar, focus on the well-known pairs first. Use the process of elimination on the given options. Often, the intended answer becomes clear even with one ambiguous item.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This question tests knowledge of famous literary works and philosophical texts and their respective authors.
Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Let's establish the correct author for each work listed.
(A) The Three Sermons of Human Nature: This is a well-known work of moral philosophy written by the 18th-century English bishop, theologian, and philosopher, Bishop Joseph Butler. So, (A) matches with (III).
(C) Sultana's Dream: This is a pioneering work of feminist science fiction, written in 1905 by Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hussain, a Bengali Muslim feminist writer and social reformer. So, (C) matches with (I).
(D) Invisible Man: This is a celebrated novel about an African American man whose color renders him invisible, written by American novelist Ralph Ellison and published in 1952. So, (D) matches with (II).
By elimination, we are left with the pair (B) The City and (IV) Daya Pawar. While the most famous sociological work titled "The City" is by Robert Park and Ernest Burgess, and not Dalit writer Daya Pawar (famous for his autobiography "Baluta"), let's check the options based on our confirmed matches.
Our confirmed matches are (A)-(III), (C)-(I), and (D)-(II). Looking at the options, only option (2) contains all three of these correct pairings. This strongly suggests that option (2) is the intended answer, which pairs (B) with (IV).
Step 3: Final Answer:
The correct pairings based on the available options are:
- A $\rightarrow$ III
- B $\rightarrow$ IV
- C $\rightarrow$ I
- D $\rightarrow$ II
This set of matches corresponds exactly to option 2.
