In this type of questions, certain words will be given. The candidate is required to put them in the order in which they would be arranged in a dictionary and then state the word which is placed in the desired place. For such questions, the candidate requires a basic knowledge of the ‘Dictionary Usage’. In a dictionary, the words are put in alphabetical order. The words beginning with a particular letter are again arranged in alphabetical order with respect to the second letter of the word and so on.

Example – Arrange the given words in alphabetical order and pick the one that comes first.

(1) Cloud (2) Middle (3) Grunt (4) Mob (5) Chain

(1) One (2) Three (3) Four (4) Two (5) None

Such pairs are PR, AE and AD. So the answer is (2).
