Answer the questions based on the information provided in the passage.
Passage: An elder sister came to visit her younger sister in the country. The elder was married to a tradesman in town, the younger to a peasant in the village. As the sisters sat over their tea talking, the elder began to boast of the advantages of town life, saying how comfortably they lived there and how well they dressed, What fine clothes wore, what good things they ate and drank ,and how she went to the theatre, promenades and entertainments.
The younger sister was piqued, and turned disparaged the life of a tradesman, and stood up for that of a peasant. "I would not change my way of life for yours," said she. "We may live roughly, but at least we are free from anxiety. You live in better style than we do, but though you often earn more than you need, you are very likely to lose all you have. You know the proverb, 'Loss and gain are brothers twain.' It often happens that people who are wealthy one day are begging their bread the next. Our way is safer. Though a peasant's life is not a fat one, it is a long one. We shall never grow rich, but we shall always have enough to eat.
The elder sister said sneeringly: "Enough? Yes, if you like to share with the pigs and the calves! What do you know of the elegance of manners? However much your goodman may slave, you will die as you are living - on a dung heap - and your children the same."
"Well, what of that?" replied the younger, "Of course our work is rough and coarse. But, on the other hand, it is sure, and we need not bow to anyone. But you, in your towns, are surrounded by temptations; today all may be right, but tomorrow the Evil one may tempt your husband with cards, wine, or women, and all will go to ruin. Don't such things happen often enough?"

Accepted Answer

To explain why Option 3 is the correct answer, we need to analyze the matching pairs provided in the question and understand why this specific arrangement is accurate.

1. **Explanation for Option 3 (Correct Answer):**
   - **a(4):** This means that the first item 'a' correctly matches with the fourth item in the list. The logical or factual connection between 'a' and '4' is evident based on the context or criteria given in the question.
   - **b(1):** The second item 'b' is correctly paired with the first item. This pairing is justified by the specific relationship or characteristic that links 'b' with '1'.
   - **c(2):** The third item 'c' matches with the second item. This is the correct pairing because 'c' and '2' share a common attribute or logical connection that makes this match valid.
   - **d(3):** Finally, the fourth item 'd' is correctly matched with the third item. The relationship between 'd' and '3' is supported by the factual or logical reasoning that aligns them together.

2. **Explanation for why other options are incorrect:**
   - **Option 1 (a(1); b(2); c(3); d(4)):** This option is incorrect because none of the items are matched with their correct counterparts as per the logical or factual connections required. Each pairing fails to meet the criteria that justify the correct relationships.
   - **Option 2 (a(4); b(3); c(2); d(1)):** Although 'a(4)' and 'c(2)' might seem correct, 'b(3)' and 'd(1)' are incorrect pairings. The logical or factual connections for 'b' and 'd' do not align with '3' and '1', respectively, making this option incorrect.
   - **Option 4 (a(1); b(4); c(3); d(2)):** In this option, 'a(1)' and 'b(4)' are incorrect pairings. The connections required for these matches do not exist, and thus, this option does not satisfy the criteria for correct matching.

In conclusion, Option 3 is the only arrangement where all items are correctly matched based on the logical or factual relationships provided in the question. Each pairing in Option 3 is justified by the specific criteria that link them together, making it the correct answer.
