Answer: A → II, B → IV, C → I, D → III
Solution
Cimetidine blocks the histamine receptor that drives acid secretion in the stomach wall, so it acts as an antacid. Alitame is a dipeptide-based artificial sweetener. Novestrol is a synthetic oestrogen used in antifertility preparations. Valium is a benzodiazepine prescribed as a tranquilizer. The pairing is antacid with cimetidine, artificial sweetener with alitame, antifertility with novestrol and tranquilizers with valium.
