Final answer:

In the sentence 'We will put away the dishes later today', the sequence words that fit best are 'afterward', 'meanwhile', 'subsequently', 'eventually', as they indicate actions relative to a point in time without a specific sequence. The correct answer is option: B) Afterward, meanwhile, subsequently, eventually.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence in question, We will put away the dishes later today, suggests a single future action to be completed at a specified time (later today). The sequence words that would best fit this action are afterward, meanwhile, subsequently, eventually. These words imply that some other actions may occur before the action of putting away the dishes, and the dishes will be put away at an unspecific future time relative to other events.

Options A) First, next, then, finally and C) Initially, subsequently, finally, lastly typically suggest a series of actions in a specific order, which doesn't apply here as no series of actions is mentioned. Option D) Following, concurrently, subsequently, ultimately includes terms like concurrently (at the same time), which is not indicated in the sentence provided.
