Correct Answer: Anger


Solution : Given:
1. Ankle  2. Anger  3. Antique  4. Aster

Step 1: Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter A, move to the next letter.
Step 2: The second letter of each word is – n, n, n, s. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Ankle, Anger, Antique, Aster
Step 3: Compare the third letter of (Ankle, Anger, Antique). Ankle and Anger will come before Antique in the sequence as k and come before t in alphabetical order.
Step 4: Compare the third letter of (Ankle, Anger). Anger will come before Ankle in the sequence as g comes before k in the alphabetical order. Therefore, the sequence will be Anger, Ankle, Antique, and Aster.

So, the word Anger appears first in the sequence. Hence, the second option is correct.
