Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
A matching question is solved by identifying the defining association for each item independently. After all four associations are fixed, their labels are read in the order of List I.
Application
Three Mile Island was the nuclear power-plant accident in Pennsylvania, United States; therefore A maps to IV.
Chernobyl occurred in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, then part of the Soviet Union; therefore B maps to III.
Fukushima Daiichi is in Japan; therefore C maps to II.
The Windscale fire occurred at Windscale in the United Kingdom; therefore D maps to I.
Cross-check
Reading the country labels in A-B-C-D order gives IV-III-II-I. Each disaster is assigned to a different listed country, so the one-to-one matching is complete.
Disaster | Country |
|---|---|
Three Mile Island | United States of America |
Chernobyl | Soviet Union |
Fukushima Daiichi | Japan |
Windscale | United Kingdom |
Hence the matching sequence is A-IV, B-III, C-II and D-I.
