Match the blanks in List-I with the prepositions in List-II:

(A) - (IV), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (III)

(A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV)

(A) - (IV), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (III)

(A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)

Correct Option: 1

(A)-(IV): "Indistinguishable from" is the standard collocation. We say something is indistinguishable FROM something else, not "with," "to," or "for."

(B)-(I): "Affinity with" is correct because "affinity" describes a natural connection WITH something or someone.

(C)-(II): "Dissimilar to" is the proper usage. Things are similar TO or dissimilar TO other things in standard English.

(D)-(III): "Mistake X FOR Y" is the correct phrase. When confusing one thing for another, we use "for" to indicate the incorrect substitution.
