Arrange the following words in the order in which they appear in an English dictionary.
1. Apotheosis, 2. Apprehensive, 3. Appreciate, 4. Appease
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 1432
In a dictionary, words are compared letter by letter from the left; the first place where two words differ decides which comes first.
All four words begin with Ap; the third letters are o (Apotheosis) and p (Apprehensive, Appreciate, Appease), so Apotheosis comes first
Among the App- words, the fourth letters are e (Appease) and r (Apprehensive, Appreciate), so Appease comes next
Appreciate and Apprehensive both begin with Appre; the sixth letters are c and h, and c comes first, so Appreciate, then Apprehensive
Order: Apotheosis (1), Appease (4), Appreciate (3), Apprehensive (2)
The sequence is 1432.
