Question

Ria is reading a newspaper. She marks four difficult words and picks up a dictionary to find their meaning. The four words are:

1) FABLE 2) BYRE 3) TWERK 4) BIGOT

Find the order in which the words will appear in the dictionary.

• A. 4, 2, 3, 1
• B. 4, 2, 1, 3
• C. 4, 3, 2, 1
• D. 2, 4, 1, 3

Answer 1

The correct option is B 4, 2, 1, 3

The first letters of the four words are F, B, T, and B.
We know that B appears first in alphabetical order.
But there are two words starting with B, i.e., BYRE and BIGOT.

Now, let us look at the second letters, which are Y and I.
We know I appears before Y.

So, the first word will be BIGOT, and the second word will be BYRE.

After this, we are left with two words, FABLE and TWERK.
We know that F comes before T.

So, the correct order of the words is:
BIGOT, BYRE, FABLE, TWERK

The correct order is 4, 2, 1, 3.
