Dictionary Word Order Comparison
To determine which word comes last in dictionary order, we compare the words letter by letter from left to right.
Comparing the Words
- All given words start with 'A'.
- The second letter for all words is 'b'.
- Now, compare the third letter:
- Abode: 'o'
- Aback: 'a'
- Abide: 'i'
- Aboriginal: 'o'
- Comparing the third letters ('o', 'a', 'i', 'o'), 'a' comes first, so 'Aback' is the first word. 'i' comes next, making 'Abide' the second word.
- We are left with 'Abode' and 'Aboriginal', both starting with 'Abo'. Compare their fourth letters:
- Abode: 'd'
- Aboriginal: 'r'
- Comparing 'd' and 'r', 'd' comes before 'r'. Therefore, 'Abode' comes before 'Aboriginal'.
Final Dictionary Order
The order of the words is:
- Aback
- Abide
- Abode
- Aboriginal
Thus, 'Aboriginal' is the word that comes last.
