Arrange the given words in the sequence in which they occur in the dictionary and then choose the correct sequence
1. Select 2. Seldom 3. Send 4.Selfish 5.Seller
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Compare the words letter by letter.
Words:
- Select
- Seldom
- Send
- Selfish
- Seller
All begin with Sel except Send, so Send will come last.
Now compare the Sel... words:
- Seldom = Seld
- Select = Sele
- Selfish = Self
- Seller = Sell
Since d < e < f < l, the order is:
- Seldom (2)
- Select (1)
- Selfish (4)
- Seller (5)
- Send (3)
Correct sequence: 2, 1, 4, 5, 3
