Which of the following words will come fourth in the English dictionary?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Follow
In a dictionary, words are compared letter by letter from the left; the first letter that differs decides the order.
Faithfully, Fallible and False all begin with FA; Follow begins with FO, and A comes before O, so Follow comes last
Faithfully (FAI) comes before Fallible and False (FAL), since I comes before L
Fallible (FALL) comes before False (FALS), since L comes before S
The order is Faithfully, Fallible, False, Follow, so the fourth word is Follow.
