Answer

To solve the problem of matching the types of leaf shapes with their corresponding plants, we will analyze each type of leaf and identify which plant it is associated with.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify Acicular Leaves**:
- Acicular leaves are needle-like and narrow.
- They are typically found in coniferous trees.
- **Match**: Acicular → (4) Pine

2. **Identify Linear Leaves**:
- Linear leaves are long and narrow, resembling blades.
- These types of leaves are commonly found in grasses.
- **Match**: Linear → (1) Grass

3. **Identify Lanceolate Leaves**:
- Lanceolate leaves are wider in the center and taper towards the ends.
- These leaves can be found in plants like Nerium (oleander).
- **Match**: Lanceolate → (2) Nerium

4. **Identify Oblong Leaves**:
- Oblong leaves are longer than they are wide, often broad and curved.
- This type of leaf is characteristic of the banana plant.
- **Match**: Oblong → (3) Banana

### Final Matches:
- (i) Acicular → (4) Pine
- (ii) Linear → (1) Grass
- (iii) Lanceolate → (2) Nerium
- (iv) Oblong → (3) Banana

### Conclusion:
The correct matches are:
- (i) Acicular → (4) Pine
- (ii) Linear → (1) Grass
- (iii) Lanceolate → (2) Nerium
- (iv) Oblong → (3) Banana
