4. Precept

• A. 2, 1, 3, 4
• B. 2, 1, 4, 3
• C. 2, 1, 3, 4
• D. 2, 1, 4, 3

Hint:

For dictionary order, compare letter by letter and note that earlier letters in the alphabet come first.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Compare first few letters
All words begin with “Pre” except "Praise" which begins with "Pra". In dictionary order, "Pra" comes before "Pre". So the first word is Praise (b). Step 2: Arrange remaining “Pre...” words
We now arrange: Preach (a), Precinct (c), Precept (d). Compare letter by letter: - Prea... (Preach) comes before Prec... (Precinct, Precept). Step 3: Order Precinct and Precept
Between “Precept” and “Precinct”: “Prece” (Precept) comes before “Preci” (Precinct) in the dictionary. Step 4: Final sequence
2 (Praise), 1 (Preach), 4 (Precept), 3 (Precinct). \[ \boxed{2, 1, 4, 3} \]
