Arrange the given words in the sequence in which they occur in the dictionary.
i. Monopoly
ii. Manifesto
iii. Manifold
iv. Mankind

  1. A
    ii, iii, iv, i
  2. B
    iii, ii, iv, i
  3. C
    i, iii, iv, ii
  4. D
    i, iv, iii, ii

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's systematically sort the words alphabetically letter-by-letter:
All words starting with 'Man...' will come before 'Mon...'. Hence, i. Monopoly is sorted last.

Let's compare ii. Manifesto, iii. Manifold, and iv. Mankind:

Look at the 4th letter:

Manifesto → 'f'

Manifold → 'f'

Mankind → 'k'

Since 'f' comes before 'k', iv. Mankind will come after both Manifesto and Manifold.

Now, let's compare ii. Manifesto and iii. Manifold to see which is first:

Up to the 5th letter, they match exactly: Manif

Check the 6th letter:

Manifesto → 'e'

Manifold → 'o'

Since 'e' appears before 'o', ii. Manifesto comes before iii. Manifold.

Arranging everything together sequentially gives:
ii. Manifesto → iii. Manifold → iv. Mankind → i. Monopoly

Correct order: ii, iii, iv, i
