1. Industry - Increase in prices and recession post-World War I: Correct. The industry faced an increase in prices, followed by a recession and increased foreign investment which brought many industries to the brink of closure and loss.
2. Workers and Artisans - Faced high taxation and poverty: Incorrect. Workers and Artisans faced unemployment and bore the brunt of high prices, not high taxation and poverty.
3. Peasantry - Unemployment and high prices: Incorrect. The peasantry faced high taxation and poverty, not unemployment and high prices.
4. Soldiers - Awareness of racism in the attitude of the British: Incorrect. Soldiers who returned from battlefields abroad shared their experiences with the rural folk, not specifically awareness of racism in the attitude of the British.
Thus, only one pair (Pair 1) is correctly matched.

Analysis of the Pairs
To determine the correctness of each pair in the context of post-World War I scenarios, we need to evaluate them individually.
1. Industry - Increase in prices and recession post-World War I
- This pair is correct. After World War I, many industries experienced inflation due to increased demand and disrupted supply chains, leading to a recession as economies adjusted.
2. Workers and Artisans - Faced high taxation and poverty
- This pair is incorrect. While workers and artisans faced economic challenges, high taxation was not a universal experience. Many workers were more concerned with job availability and wages than taxation levels.
3. Peasantry - Unemployment and high prices
- This pair is incorrect. The peasantry typically faced issues like falling prices for crops rather than unemployment. High prices were more a concern for urban consumers rather than rural producers.
4. Soldiers - Awareness of racism in the attitude of the British
- This pair is correct. Many soldiers, particularly from colonies, returned with a heightened awareness of racial inequalities and discrimination, leading to increased demands for rights and recognition.
Conclusion
- Only the first and fourth pairs are correctly matched. Therefore, the correct answer is option A: Only one pair. This reflects the specific historical context and the unique challenges faced by different social groups post-World War I.
