Option 1 -> Incorrectly matches Epic with rhythmic pattern and scrambles all other definitions.
Option 2 -> Incorrectly matches Epic with comparison (simile's definition) and misaligns remaining terms.
Option 3 -> Epic (IV): long narrative/poem of heroic action; Verse (I): regular rhythmic pattern; Simile (II): comparison between objects; Monologue (III): long speech in a play - all correctly matched.
Option 4 -> Incorrectly matches Epic with long speech (monologue's definition) and misaligns Monologue.
Hence, Option 3 -> This correctly identifies Epic as a long narrative poem describing important actions (like Homer's Iliad), Verse as poetry with regular rhythm, Simile as a comparative device using "like" or "as", and Monologue as an extended speech by one character in drama -> correct
