The correct answer is
Knight

Dictionary Order Explained

To find which word comes last in dictionary order, we compare the words letter by letter from the beginning.

Comparing the Words

  • Initial Check: All words start with 'K'.
  • Second Letter Check: All words have 'e' as the second letter.
  • Third Letter Comparison:
    • Keep: 'e'
    • King: 'i'
    • Keen: 'e'
    • Kite: 'i'
    • Knight: 'n'
    Based on the third letter, the order groups are: (Keen, Keep), (King, Kite), Knight. The letter 'n' comes after 'e' and 'i'.
  • Fourth Letter Comparison (Group 1: Keen, Keep):
    • Keen: 'n'
    • Keep: 'p'
    • 'n' comes before 'p', so the order is Keen, then Keep.
  • Fourth Letter Comparison (Group 2: King, Kite):
    • King: 'g'
    • Kite: 't'
    • 'g' comes before 't', so the order is King, then Kite.
  • Final Order: Combining the sorted groups gives us: Keen, Keep, King, Kite, Knight.

Conclusion

The word that appears last in this alphabetical arrangement is Knight.
