Correct Answer: Quaver


Solution : Given:
1. Quarter 2. Qualify 3. Quaver 4. Quarrel

Step 1: Since all the words start with the same letter Q, so move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The second, and third letters of each word are the same, i.e., u, and a. So, move on to the next letter.
Step 3: Compare the fourth letter of (Quarter, Qualify, Quaver, Quarrel). Qualify will come before Quarter, Quaver, and Quarrel as l comes before r, and v according to the alphabetical system. Similarly, (Quarter, Quarrel) will come before Quaver as r comes before v according to the alphabetical system.
Step 4: Compare the fifth letter of (Quarter, Quarrel). Quarrel will come before Quarter as r comes before t according to the alphabetical system.
Therefore, the sequence is Qualify, Quarrel, Quarter, Quaver, or 2, 4, 1, 3.

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