e. Worst
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → a, d, e, b, c
Words are compared letter by letter; the first letter that differs decides the order. All five begin with W, so the second letter comes first.
Second letter: Whiter, then Worked, Worst, Wound, then Writer (H, O, R)
Among WO-: Worked and Worst come before Wound (R before U)
Worked before Worst (K before S)
The order is Whiter (a), Worked (d), Worst (e), Wound (b), Writer (c).
