Detailed Explanation & Answer
To explain why the correct answer is 1, let's match each term from List I (Terms) with the corresponding theorist from List II (Theorists) and justify the match:
A. Apollonian - Dionysian
This concept is primarily associated with Friedrich Nietzsche. In his work The Birth of Tragedy, Nietzsche contrasts the Apollonian (order, reason, clarity) with the Dionysian (chaos, emotion, and instinct) as two competing elements in Greek tragedy and life.
Correct match: II (Friedrich Nietzsche)
B. Fancy - Imagination
This distinction was famously made by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in his Biographia Literaria. Coleridge differentiates between "fancy" (a mechanical act of memory) and "imagination" (a creative, unifying force).
Correct match: IV (S.T. Coleridge)
C. Hellenism — Hebraism
This duality is explored by Matthew Arnold in his work Culture and Anarchy. Arnold contrasts Hellenism (emphasis on reason, beauty, and art) with Hebraism (focus on moral rigor and religious thought).
Correct match: I (Matthew Arnold)
D. Inscape - Instress
These terms were coined by Gerard Manley Hopkins. "Inscape" refers to the unique, intrinsic design of a thing, while "instress" refers to the force or energy that holds this design together or allows it to be perceived.
