Correct Answer: Knob


Solution : Given:
1. Know 2. Knack 3. Knit 4. Knob

Step 1: Compare the first and the second letter of each word. Since all the words have the same letters K and n , then move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The third letter of each word is a , i , or o . Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Kn a ck, Kn i t, Kn o w, Kn o b.
Step 3: Compare the fourth letter of (Kno w , Kno b ). Knob will come before Know in the sequence as b comes before w in the alphabetical system.
So, the sequence is Knack, Knit, Knob, Know.

So, Knob will come in the third place. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
