Match List I with List II:

List I	List II
[A] “Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike.”	[1] Irony
[B] “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of good fortune must be in want of a wife.”	[2] Simile
[C] “Thou still unravished bride of quietness. Thou foster child of silence and slow time.”	[3] Antithesis
[D] “And ice, mast-high, come floating by, as green as emerald.”	[4] Assonance

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

Let us break down the logical mapping of each literary quote from List I to its corresponding literary device in List II:

1. Quote [A]: “Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike.”
This line from Alexander Pope's Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot contrasts two opposing feelings ("willing to wound" versus "afraid to strike") in a parallel grammatical structure. The juxtaposition of contrasting ideas in balanced phrases is called Antithesis. Therefore, [A] matches with [3] (Antithesis).

2. Quote [B]: “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of good fortune must be in want of a wife.”
This famous opening line of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is a classic example of Irony. The sentence humorously states something as a universal truth, whereas the novel reveals the opposite reality: it is the mothers of single daughters who are desperately in want of wealthy men. Therefore, [B] matches with [1] (Irony).

3. Quote [C]: “Thou still unravished bride of quietness. Thou foster child of silence and slow time.”
These lines from John Keats's Ode on a Grecian Urn feature the repetition of similar vowel sounds in close proximity—specifically, the prominent "i" sound in "bride", "quietness", "child", "silence", and "time". The repetition of vowel sounds within nearby words is known as Assonance. Therefore, [C] matches with [4] (Assonance).

4. Quote [D]: “And ice, mast-high, come floating by, as green as emerald.”
This line from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner compares the color of the ice directly to that of an emerald using the word "as". A direct comparison between two different things using comparative words such as "like" or "as" is a Simile. Therefore, [D] matches with [2] (Simile).

Combining these individual matches, we obtain the correct arrangement: (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II).
