Question

in a dictionary, which word would be on the page with guide words each and easy?
a. eam
b. etch
c. eat
d. eddy

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Dictionary guide words mark the first and last words on a page. A word appears on the page if it falls alphabetically between the two guide words.

  1. "each" is the starting guide word, "easy" is the ending guide word.
  2. Alphabetical order check:
  • A. eam: Comes before "each" (3rd letter 'm' < 'c')
  • B. etch: Comes after "easy" (3rd letter 'c' > 's')
  • C. eat: Falls between "each" and "easy" (3rd letter 't' is between 'c' and 's')
  • D. eddy: Comes before "each" (2nd letter 'd' > 'a', so it is after "each"? No, wait: "each" is e-a-c-h, "eddy" is e-d-d-y. Comparing second letters: a < d, so "eddy" comes after "each"? Wait no, wait "easy" is e-a-s-y. Oh right! "each" is e-a-c-h, "easy" is e-a-s-y. So words must start with e-a-, then the third letter must be between c and s.
  • A. eam: e-a-m? No, eam is e-a-m? Wait no, eam is e-a-m? Wait no, "each" is e-a-c-h, "eam" is e-a-m. Wait c comes before m, so "eam" comes after "each"? But "easy" is e-a-s-y. m comes before s, so "eam" would be between "each" and "easy"? Wait no, wait the options:

Wait let's recheck all options properly:

  • "each" = e a c h
  • "easy" = e a s y
  • A. eam = e a m: 3rd letter m is between c and s, so it is between "each" and "easy"? But wait "eat" is e a t, which is also between c and s. Wait no, wait "eddy" is e d d y, which starts with e d, which is after e a, so "eddy" comes after "easy"? No, "easy" is e a s y, so e a comes before e d, so "eddy" comes after "easy".

Wait "etch" is e t c h, which starts with e t, which is after e a, so comes after "easy".
Wait "eam" is e a m, which is after "each" (e a c h) because c < m, and before "easy" (e a s y) because m < s. But "eat" is e a t, which is after "each" (c < t) and before "easy" (t < s? No! t comes after s. Oh right! s is the 19th letter, t is 20th. So "eat" comes after "easy".
Wait I made a mistake earlier. Let's correct:
Alphabetical order:
each (e a c h) < eam (e a m) < easy (e a s y) < eat (e a t) < eddy (e d d y) < etch (e t c h)
Wait no, "easy" is e a s y, so "eam" is e a m, m is 13th letter, s is 19th, so m < s, so "eam" is before "easy". "eat" is e a t, t is 20th, which is after s, so "eat" is after "easy".
Wait but the options:
Wait the question is which word is on the page with guide words "each" and "easy". So the page includes words from "each" up to and including "easy".
So:
A. eam: between each and easy (yes, c < m < s)
B. etch: after easy (no)
C. eat: after easy (t > s, no)
D. eddy: after easy (d > a, so starts with e d which is after e a, no)
Wait but wait, is "eam" a real word? Oh maybe I misread the option. Wait the option A is "eam"? Or is it "ear"? No, the image shows "eam". Wait maybe I messed up the order. Wait "each" is spelled e-a-c-h. "eam" is e-a-m. When comparing, after e-a-, the third letter: c comes before m, so "each" comes before "eam". "easy" is e-a-s-y, m comes before s, so "eam" comes before "easy". So "eam" is between "each" and "easy". But wait another way: maybe I got the third letter wrong. Wait "easy" is e-a-s-y, so the third letter is s. "eat" is e-a-t, third letter t, which is after s, so "eat" is after "easy". "eddy" is e-d-d-y, which is after "easy" because the second letter d is after a. "etch" is e-t-c-h, which is after "easy" because second letter t is after a.
Wait but maybe I made a mistake with "eam". Is "eam" a word? Maybe it's a typo, but assuming the options are correct, then "eam" is the one between "each" and "easy". Wait no, wait wait another thought: maybe I mixed up the order of "each" and "easy". No, "each" comes before "easy" alphabetical…
