Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: A. PQRS
Here is a brief explanation of each option:
- PQRS is the correct sequence because it follows the natural progression of how a new word gets into the dictionary. First, a new word is coined and enters the spoken language. Then, it is noticed by dictionary makers and a citation slip is made for it. Finally, the word is sorted and defined by a lexicographer.
- PRSQ is incorrect because it puts the definition of the word before the citation slip is made. This is not the correct order of events.
- RQPS is incorrect because it puts the sorting of the word before the definition is written. This is not the correct order of events.
- RSQP is incorrect because it puts the making of the citation slip before the word enters the spoken language. This is not the correct order of events.
