Detailed Explanation & Answer
To understand why the correct answer is 1, you need to match each poet from List I with the bird from List II that is associated with them. Here’s a breakdown of the associations:
John Keats: Keats is well known for his poem "Ode to a Nightingale," where the nightingale is a central symbol. Therefore, the bird associated with Keats is the Nightingale (IV).
P.B. Shelley: Shelley wrote the famous poem "To a Skylark," which is an ode to the skylark. Hence, the bird associated with Shelley is the Skylark (III).
G.H. Hopkins: Gerard Manley Hopkins often wrote about nature, and one of his poems is titled "The Windhover," which is a type of falcon. Thus, the bird associated with Hopkins is the Falcon (II).
Ted Hughes: Hughes is known for his poem "Hawk Roosting," where the hawk is a significant figure. Consequently, the bird associated with Hughes is the Hawk (I).
