Civil Service Clerical Ability Practice exam

Question: 1 / 400

When alphabetizing correctly, which of the following would be second?

flag

house

decade

emotion

When determining the correct alphabetical order, it is essential to compare the first letter of each word. Here, we see that "decade," "emotion," "flag," and "house" start with distinct letters: D, E, F, and H respectively.

"Decade" begins with D, which is the first letter to appear in this list. Moving on, "emotion" starts with E, placing it immediately after "decade" since E comes after D in the alphabet.

"Flag" begins with F, which follows after E, and "house" starts with H, which comes last when sorted in alphabetical order. Therefore, after "decade," the next word in the sequence is "emotion," making it the second in this list when alphabetized correctly.
