Arrange the given words in the sequence in which they occur in the dictionary and then choose the correct sequence.
1. Eagle 2. Earth 3. Eager 4. Early 5. Each
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Arrange the words alphabetically (dictionary order):
- Each
- Eager
- Eagle
- Early
- Earth
Let's compare:
- Each (Eac...) comes before Eager (Eag...).
- Eager comes before Eagle because:
- Eage...
- Eagl...
- e comes before l.
- Early (Earl...) comes before Earth (Eart...) because l comes before t.
Thus, the correct sequence is: 5, 3, 1, 4, 2
