Which word comes fourth when the following four words are arranged in the order of an English dictionary?
1. wound, 2. wrong, 3. written, 4. wrap
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 2
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 w; the second letters are o (wound) and r (wrong, written, wrap), so wound comes first
Among the wr- words, the third letters are o (wrong), i (written) and a (wrap)
In the alphabet these come in the order a, i, o
Order: wound, wrap, written, wrong
The fourth word is wrong, which is word 2.
