Which word comes third when the following four words are arranged in the order of an English dictionary?
1. cafe, 2. campaign, 3. cable, 4. calculate
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 4
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 ca; the third letters are f (cafe), m (campaign), b (cable) and l (calculate)
In the alphabet these come in the order b, f, l, m
Order: cable, cafe, calculate, campaign
The third word is calculate, which is word 4.
