Column-I has statements made by Shanthala; and, Column-II has responses given by Kanishk.

Column-I	Column-II
P. This house is in a mess.	1. Alright, I won't bring it up during our conversations.
Q. I am not happy with the marks given to me.	2. Well, you can easily look it up.
R. Politics is a subject I avoid talking about.	3. No problem, let me clear it up for you.
S. I don't know what this word means.	4. Don't worry, I will take it up with your teacher.

Identify the option that has the correct match between Column-I and Column-II.

Answer: B

The correct match is P - 3; Q - 4; R - 1; S - 2.

Each reply uses a phrasal verb with up that fits one statement:

A house in a mess is something to clear up (P-3).
A complaint about marks is something to take up with the teacher, that is, raise with the person responsible (Q-4).
A subject someone avoids is one you promise not to bring up (R-1).
A word you do not know is one you look up in a dictionary (S-2).

The other options pair, for example, the mess with looking it up or the marks with not bringing it up, which make no sense as replies.
