Match the Columns – English Words – 20 Exercises with Answers

Match the columns referring to the process of comparing and relating items in two separate columns. This could involve finding pairs of items that have a specific relationship or connection, or it could involve organising items in a particular way.

Match the column in competitve exams are pretty common. The best practice is to go through both the columns before jumping into the exercises. Connect with context if you don’t know by meaning, eliminate the ones that cannot be matched, look at them at the end.

Chances are all that make sense have been matched up leaving you the ones that you could not match and that’s a small pot to choose from now.

Match each word in the first column with its definition in the second column.
