Correct Answer: Determination


Solution : Given:
1. Degrade 2. Density 3. Deterioration 4. Determination

Step 1: Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter D, then move on to the next letter.
Step 2: Compare the second letter of each word. Since all the words have the same second letter e, then move on to the next letter.
Step 3: Compare the third letter of each word, and the letters are g, n and t. Based on the alphabetical series the order is – Degrade, Density, Deterioration, Determination.
Step 4: Compare the sixth letter of (Deterioration, Determination). Deterioration will come before Determination in the sequence as i comes before m in the alphabetical system.
So the sequence is Degrade, Density, Deterioration, Determination.

Therefore, the fourth word is Determination. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
