Option 4: Remember

Correct Answer: Remember

Solution : Given:
1. Remark 2. Remain 3. Remember 4. Remnant 5. Remanent

Step 1: Compare the first letter of all the words. Since all the words start with the same letter R , then move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The second, and third letters of all the words are the same, i.e., e , and m . So, move on to the next letter.
Step 3: Compare the fourth letter of Rem a rk, Rem a in, Rem e mber, Rem n ant, Rem a nent. (Remark, Remain, Remanent) will come before Remember and Remnant as a comes before e , and n according to the alphabetical system. Similarly, Remember will come before Remnant as e comes before n according to the alphabetical system.
Step 4: Compare the fifth letter of (Rema r k, Rema i n, Rema n ent). Remain will come before Remark and Remanent as i comes before r , and n according to the alphabetical system. Similarly, Remanent will come before Remark as n comes before r according to the alphabetical system.
Therefore, the sequence is Remain, Remanent, Remark, Remember, Remnant.

So, the word Remember appears in the fourth position when the given words are arranged in the dictionary order. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
