Arrange the given words in the sequence in which they occur in the dictionary.
i. Foresay
ii. Foreseize
iii. Foreseeable
iv. Foresail

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

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's compare the words letter by letter to arrange them in alphabetical order:
All words start with the prefix "Fores". Let's look at the 6
th
letter:

i. Foresay (a)

ii. Foreseize (e)

iii. Foreseeable (e)

iv. Foresail (a)

First, compare words starting with 'a' (i and iv):

iv. Foresail ('i' comes before 'y')

i. Foresay ('y' comes after 'i')
So, iv comes before i → (iv, i)

Next, compare words starting with 'e' (ii and iii):

iii. Foreseeable ('a' comes before 'i')

ii. Foreseize ('i' comes after 'e')
Let's check carefully:

iii. Foresee... (the 7
th
letter is 'e')

ii. Foresei... (the 7
th
letter is 'i')
Since 'e' comes before 'i', iii comes before ii → (iii, ii)

Combining the sequence: iv, i, iii, ii
