Answer :

To solve this matching problem, we need to match each English sentence to its corresponding glossed version. Here is the detailed step-by-step solution:

1. Analyze the English sentence: "To stay fit, I enjoy boxing more than lifting weights."
- Look for glossed terms related to fitness and enjoyment.
- Match: "MAINTAIN FIT BOXING IX-I ENJOY MORE-THAN WEIGHTS"

2. Analyze the English sentence: "I love boxing and lifting weights."
- Look for glossed terms that indicate love and both activities (boxing and lifting weights).
- Match: "ss-d BOXING ss-nd LIFTING-WEIGHTS IX-I LO"

3. Analyze the English sentence: "We box and lift weights a lot."
- Look for glossed terms that refer to collective action (we) and frequent activities.
- Match: "IX-we ss-d BOX++ ss-nd LIFT-WEIGHTS++"

4. Analyze the English sentence: "Do you prefer lifting weights or boxing?"
- Look for glossed terms that ask for a preference between the two activities.
- Match: "ss-d LIFTING-WEIGHTS ss-nd BOXING IX-you"

With these matches in mind, the correct associations are:
- "To stay fit, I enjoy boxing more than lifting weights." matches with "A) MAINTAIN FIT BOXING IX-I ENJOY MORE-THAN WEIGHTS" (0)
- "I love boxing and lifting weights." matches with "C) ss-d BOXING ss-nd LIFTING-WEIGHTS IX-I LO" (2)
- "We box and lift weights a lot." matches with "D) IX-we ss-d BOX++ ss-nd LIFT-WEIGHTS++" (3)
- "Do you prefer lifting weights or boxing?" matches with "B) ss-d LIFTING-WEIGHTS ss-nd BOXING IX-you" (1)

Thus, the final matches in order are:
```
(0, 2, 3, 1)
```

These match numbers indicate the correct alignment of each English sentence to its glossed counterpart.
