Question : Directions: Arrange the given words in the sequence in which they occur in the dictionary.

2. Forget
3. Forgo
4. Forgive
5. Format

Option 1: 5, 2, 4, 3, 1

Option 2: 1, 4, 3, 2, 5

Option 3: 3, 4, 5, 2, 1

Option 4: 1, 2, 4, 3, 5

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4, 3, 5

Solution : Given:
1. Forge 2. Forget 3. Forgo 4. Forgive 5. Format

Step 1: Compare the first three letters of each word. Since the first three letters of each word are the same F , o , and r , then move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The fourth letter of each word is either g or m . Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – For g e, For g et, For g o, For g ive, For m at.
Step 3: Compare the fifth letter of (Forg e , Forg e t, Forg o , Forg i ve). Forge and Forget will come before Forgo and Forgive in the sequence as e comes before o and i in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Forgive will come before Forgo as i comes before o in the alphabetical system.
Step 4: Compare the total letters of (Forge, Forget). Forge (5-letter word) will come before Forget (6-letter word) in the sequence.

So, the sequence is Forge, Forget, Forgive, Forgo, Format, or 1, 2, 4, 3, 5 . Hence, the fourth option is correct.
