The correct option is (A)-(IV), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(III).

To understand why this is the correct match, let us look at each quotation and its corresponding author step-by-step:

1. "Faces along the bar/cling to their average day." matches with W.H. Auden (IV)
This line is from W. H. Auden's famous poem "September 1, 1939", written at the outbreak of World War II. The poem describes people sitting in a New York bar, trying to cling to their normal, everyday routines amidst the looming dread of global conflict.

2. "The awful daring of a moments surrender." matches with T.S. Eliot (II)
This line is from T. S. Eliot's landmark modernist poem "The Waste Land" (1922), specifically from the final section titled "What the Thunder Said". It refers to a singular, fateful moment of passion or decision that defines an entire existence, which cannot be retracted by later caution.

3. "Bent double, like old beggars under sacks." matches with Wilfred Owen (I)
This is the opening line of Wilfred Owen's famous anti-war poem "Dulce et Decorum Est", written during World War I. The vivid and gritty simile highlights the physical exhaustion and degradation experienced by soldiers marching away from the front lines.

4. "I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness." matches with Allen Ginsberg (III)
This is the iconic opening line of Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl" (1956), a central text of the Beat Generation. The line serves as a powerful critique of mid-20th century American society and the conformist pressures that marginalized non-conformist intellectuals and artists.
