Select the option that gives the order in which the given words appear in an English dictionary.
1. Fantasy, 2. Fanatic, 3. Fascinate, 4. Favourite
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 2134
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 Fa; the third letters are n (Fantasy, Fanatic), s (Fascinate) and v (Favourite)
Fantasy and Fanatic both begin with Fan; the fourth letters are t and a, and a comes first, so Fanatic, then Fantasy
Order: Fanatic (2), Fantasy (1), Fascinate (3), Favourite (4)
The sequence is 2134.
