A
(v), (iv), (iii), (ii), (i)
B
(iii), (ii), (i), (v), (iv)
C
(iii), (v), (i), (ii), (iv)
D
(v), (ii), (iv), (i), (iii)
Correct Option:
C
Explanation
Arrange letter by letter:
- Denote
- Depict
- Detach
- Devise
- Digest
After the initial D, words beginning with De- come before Di-. Among the De- words, compare the third letter: n, p, t, v. Thus:
Denote < Depict < Detach < Devise < Digest.
So the order is (iii), (v), (i), (ii), (iv).
