Which word comes first when the following four words are arranged in the order of an English dictionary?
1. program, 2. profit, 3. project, 4. promise
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 2
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 pro; the fourth letters are g (program), f (profit), j (project) and m (promise)
In the alphabet f comes before g, j and m
Order: profit, program, project, promise
The first word is profit, which is word 2.
