A 2 4 3 1
B 2 3 4 1
C 4 3 1 2
D 3 1 2 4

Correct answer: (b) 2 3 4 1

Explanation

  1. A

    2 4 3 1

    (a) 2 4 3 1. That makes Taxol a rodenticide and zinc phosphide an anticancer drug—the drug and poison are swapped.

  2. B

    2 3 4 1

    (b) 2 3 4 1. Kevlar is a synthetic aramid fibre; Taxol (paclitaxel) is an anticancer drug; zinc phosphide is a rodenticide; nitrocellulose is an explosive/propellant. (b) Official key.

  3. C

    4 3 1 2

    (c) 4 3 1 2. It opens Kevlar as rodenticide and ends nitrocellulose as fibre—both wrong.

  4. D

    3 1 2 4

    (d) 3 1 2 4. It calls Kevlar an anticancer drug and Taxol an explosive.

Summary. Official key is (b). Match 2-3-4-1: Kevlar fibre, Taxol anticancer, zinc phosphide rodent poison, nitrocellulose explosive.
