Arrange the following words in the sequence they will appear in the dictionary:
A. Research
B. Resurgence
C. Respiration
D. Respective
E. Resources
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → A, E, D, C, B
All five words begin with “Res”, so they are arranged by the first letter after “Res”, and further letters are compared only where those are the same.
4th letters: Research (e), Resources (o), Respective and Respiration (p), Resurgence (u); in the alphabet e, o, p, u
Respective and Respiration tie on p, so the 5th letters decide: Respective (e) comes before Respiration (i)
Order: Research (A), Resources (E), Respective (D), Respiration (C), Resurgence (B)
