2. Adjective	b. Tears well up in his eyes when he reads the letter
3. Noun	c. The children behaved well
4. Adverb	d. They played hard. It was a well deserved victory

• A. 1-b, 2-d, 3-a, 4-c
• B. 1-a, 2-c, 3-d, 4-b
• C. 1-b, 2-a, 3-c, 4-d
• D. 1-a, 2-c, 3-b, 4-d

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

1. Option A: Checking each sentence for the role of well confirms verb in (b), adjective-like use in (d), noun in (a), and adverb in (c), so 1-b, 2-d, 3-a, 4-c holds up.
2. Option B: Pairing verb with (a) is wrong since (a) shows the noun sense of well.
3. Option C: Pairing adjective with (a) is wrong for the same reason.
4. Option D: Pairing verb with (a) again misreads the noun usage.

The only fully consistent match is option A, 1-b, 2-d, 3-a, 4-c.
