Question

Guidewords are the words in bold at the top of the dictionary pages that tell you the first and last words that appear on that page. Using these words, a student should be able to find the correct page for the word they are seeking; he or she just needs to find which guidewords it falls between alphabetically. Between which set of the dictionary guidewords would you find the word seize?

Answer 1

The available options are

A) sewn: shading

B) see: segregate

C) scuttle: seagull

D) segue: selectivity

Answer:

segue: selectivity

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Dictionary arranges word alphabetically, we can easily see that the word SEIZE falls between the words SEGUE and SELECTIVITY. This is evident in the fact that all the three words begins with letters S and E, then comes the letter G in the word SEGUE, alphabetically we have letter G H, I, J, K, L. Thus, in the word SEIZE, after letters S and E, we have I.
