Arrange the given words in the sequence in which they occur in the dictionary.
(a) Bishop
(b) Bifocal
(c) Bicycle
(d) Bitter
(e) Brink
Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (c), (b), (a), (d), (e)
In a dictionary, words are compared letter by letter from the left; the first letter that differs decides the order.
Four words begin with ‘Bi’ and come before (e) Brink, since ‘i’ comes before ‘r’ in the second place.
Among the ‘Bi’ words the third letter decides: (c) Bicycle (c), (b) Bifocal (f), (a) Bishop (s) and (d) Bitter (t), in this order.
