Cevap
The correct pairings match 'caustic' to 'capable of burning, corroding, or destroying living tissue', 'nocturnal' to 'active primarily during the nighttime hours', 'malleable' to 'capable of being hammered, shaped, or bent without breaking', and 'potable' to 'safe and suitable for human drinking'.
Each sentence contains an explicit example clue introduced by standard signal terms ('such as', 'including', 'for example', 'like'). Battery acid and lye demonstrate corrosive destruction; owls and bats demonstrate nocturnal activity; copper wire and foil demonstrate malleability; bottled water and milk demonstrate potability.
