Question

When the four given words are arranged in alphabetical order, which word will occupy the third position ? *
1 point
actor
enact
activate
action

Answer 1

The word 'Actor' will occupy the third position when the given words are arranged in the alphabetical order.

All the words when arranged in alphabetical order are:

1. Action
2. Activate
3. Actor
4. Enact

To arrange words in the alphabetical order:

• Consider the first letter of each word. Since 'enact' begins with an 'e', and the rest of the words begin with 'a', 'enact' occupies the last position.
• Next look at the second and third letters of the three words that begin with 'a'.
• The first three letters (a, c, t)  are the same, which is why we need to consider the fourth letter.
• In 'action' and 'activate' the fourth letter is also the same, and so we consider the fifth letter.
• In the alphabet, the letter 'o' comes before 'v', and so 'action' is at number 1 position, 'activate' at 2, 'actor’ at 3 and ‘enact’ at 4.

Hence, ‘actor’ will come in at the 3rd position.
