Which comes first in the dictionary? THANK, THINE, THIRD, THIRST?
THANK
THINE
THIRD
THIRST
THANK
Focus only on the letter that differentiates the words; compare them character by character from left to right (T-H are common, so start comparing the 3rd letter).
Focus only on the letter that differentiates the words; compare them character by character from left to right (T-H are common, so start comparing the 3rd letter).
Analyze initial characters
All four words (THANK, THINE, THIRD, THIRST) start with 'TH'. We must look at the third letter of each word to determine the order.
Compare the 3rd letters
Extract the 3rd letter of each: THANK (A), THINE (I), THIRD (I), THIRST (I). Since A comes before I in the alphabet, THANK is the first word.
B: THINE comes after THANK because the third letter 'I' follows 'A'; C: THIRD has 'I' as the third letter and 'R' as the fourth, placing it after THANK; D: THIRST has 'I' as the third letter and 'R' as the fourth, but comparing the 5th letter 'S' vs 'D' puts it later.
A is correct because when comparing the 3rd letters of all words, 'A' (in THANK) alphabetically precedes 'I' (in THINE, THIRD, and THIRST).
When arranging multiple words, ignore the identical prefix and focus strictly on the first index where characters differ.
