Match the play with the subject matter of the play:
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
| (a) The Doctor’s Dilemma | (i) Flouting of stage conventions |
| (b) You Never Can Tell | (ii) Satire on military heroes |
| (c) Candida | (iii) Devaluation of social traditions |
| (d) Arms and the Man | (iv) Mockery of physicians’ ignorance |
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
The Doctor’s Dilemma satirizes medical judgement and physicians’ ignorance; You Never Can Tell unsettles inherited social and family conventions; Candida reworks expected stage conventions of the love triangle; and Arms and the Man deflates romantic military heroism. The mapping (a)–(iv); (b)–(iii); (c)–(i); (d)–(ii) fits all four. The other alternatives misassign the particularly clear medical satire and military satire.
