Correct Answer: Temperature


Solution : Given:
1. Temple 2. Tenant 3. Terminate 4. Temperature

Step 1: Since all the words start with the same letter T, so move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The second letter of each word is the same, i.e., e. So, move on to the next letter.
Step 3: Compare the third letter of (Temple, Tenant, Terminate, Temperature). (Temple, Temperature) will come before Tenant, and Terminate as m comes before n, and r according to the alphabetical system. Similarly, Tenant will come before Terminate as n comes before r according to the alphabetical system.
Step 4: The fourth letter of (Temple, Temperature) is the same. So, move on to the next letter.
Step 5: Compare the fifth letter of (Temple, Temperature). Temperature will come before Temple as e comes before l according to the alphabetical system.
Therefore, the sequence is Temperature, Temple, Tenant, Terminate, or 4123.

So, the word Temperature appears first when arranged in the order of the dictionary. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
