Correct Answer: C, B, D, A


Solution : Given:
A. Dyke B. Dwindle C. Dwell D. Dye

Step 1: Since all the words start with the same letter D , move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The second letter of each word is either y or w . The arrangement can be – (Dwindle, Dwell), (Dyke, Dye).
Step 3: Compare the third letter of (Dw i ndle, Dw e ll), (Dy k e, Dy e ). Dwell will come before Dwindle as e comes before i according to the alphabetical system. Similarly, Dye will come before Dyke as e comes before k according to the alphabetical system.

So, the sequence is Dwell, Dwindle, Dye, Dyke, or C, B, D, A. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
