The sentences given in each question, when properly sequenced, from a coherent paragraph. Each sentence is labelled with a letter. choose the most logical order of sentences from among the given choices to construct a coherent paragraph.

(A) When a dictionary is being edited, a lexicographer collects all the alphabetically arranged citation slips for a particular word.
(B) The moment a new word is coined, it usually enters the spoken language.
(C) The dictionary takes note of it and makes a note of it on a citation slip.
(D) The word then passes from the realm of hearing to the realm of writing.

The correct option is A C B D.

Let's analyze the logical flow and narrative structure of the sentences to construct a coherent paragraph:

1. Sentence (A): "When a dictionary is being edited, a lexicographer collects all the alphabetically arranged citation slips for a particular word."
This sets the primary context of dictionary editing and introduces the concept of "citation slips" for a word.

2. Sentence (C): "The dictionary takes note of it and makes a note of it on a citation slip."
This directly elaborates on how a citation slip comes into existence for a word when the dictionary notes it down, following sentence (A).

3. Sentence (B): "The moment a new word is coined, it usually enters the spoken language."
This shifts focus to how new words enter language usage through speech.

4. Sentence (D): "The word then passes from the realm of hearing to the realm of writing."
This naturally concludes the thought introduced in sentence (B) by explaining the transition from spoken language ("realm of hearing") to written record ("realm of writing").

Combining these sentences in the order A - C - B - D forms a logical and coherent paragraph.
