Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Context Identification.
This question involves matching notable Khasi authors with their respective literary works or critical essays.
Each author has made significant contributions to Khasi literature, including essays, literary criticism, and poetic analysis.

Step 2: Author and Work Synopsis.
- S. S. Majaw: Renowned for in-depth analysis of poetic structures, particularly sonnets. Corresponding work: “Katto katne shaphang ka Sonnet.”
- Rajiesh K. Lyngdoh: A literary critic who examined “Ka Prosodi bad ka Retorik” (Prosody and Rhetoric), focusing on rhythm and expressive techniques in Khasi poetry.
- B. L. Swer: Known for interpretative essays, such as “Ka Jingpynshai ïa U Kynjri Ksiar,” which delves into the symbolism and meanings within Khasi mythology.
- F. M. Pugh: A pioneering figure in Khasi literary criticism, author of “Ki Syrwet Jingshai,” a work centered on themes of light and moral enlightenment.

Step 3: Accurate Correspondences.
A - IV (S. S. Majaw – Katto katne shaphang ka Sonnet)
B - II (Rajiesh K. Lyngdoh – Ka Prosodi bad ka Retorik)
C - III (B. L. Swer – Ka Jingpynshai ïa U Kynjri Ksiar)
D - I (F. M. Pugh – Ki Syrwet Jingshai)

Step 4: Validation.
Each selected work aligns precisely with the author's literary specialization and contributions.
Consequently, option (4) is the most accurate and contextually supported choice.
