Answer

Cabotage matches the legal right of a foreign carrier to transport passengers/freight between domestic ports; Galley proof matches the preliminary print of a publication used for proofreading; Subpoena matches a court writ compelling witness testimony; Amortization matches the systematic installment reduction of a debt or asset cost.
Cabotage specifically defines the commercial transport rights within a single country by foreign vessels or aircraft. A galley proof is the preliminary draft printed for final proofreading in publishing. A subpoena is a judicial writ ordering a witness to appear in court. Amortization is the process of gradually liquidating a liability or writing down an asset over a set period.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the occupational field associated with each term on the left.
Cabotage belongs to Aviation/Nautical Law; Galley proof belongs to Publishing/Printing; Subpoena belongs to Legal Practice; Amortization belongs to Accounting/Finance.
Recognizing the specialized field narrows down the technical definitions.
2
Pair each specialized term with its precise technical meaning.
Cabotage pairs with domestic transport rights by foreign carriers; Galley proof pairs with trial print for proofreading; Subpoena pairs with a mandatory witness writ; Amortization pairs with installment-based debt reduction.
Matching each term to its exact domain usage ensures conceptual precision.
