Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct Answer : Option C
Explanation –
1. 'Apostate' (iii) starts with 'Apo', while others start with 'App'. Thus, iii comes first.
2. Compare 'Apparel' (iv) and 'Apparent' (i). Both share 'Appare'. The 7th letter is 'l' in Apparel and 'n' in Apparent. Since 'l' comes before 'n', iv precedes i.
3. 'Appointed' (ii) has 'o' as the 4th letter, whereas others have 'a'. Thus, ii comes last.
Correct sequence: iii, iv, i, ii
