A dictionary is a book that lists the words of a language in alphabetical order and provides the readers with their meaning. Moreover, dictionaries also offer information related to the origin and pronounciation of words. As words are arranged in alphabetical order, the entry that is given first in a dictionary is "King James Version" because, unlike the other options, the word "king" in this entry is not directly followed, that is to say within the same word, by any other letter. "King James Version" is followed by the entry "Kingdom come" because there is a "d" after the word "king" and, in the alphabet, "d" comes before "f" and "s". In "kingfish", "king" is followed by "f"; therefore, this entry comes after "kingdom come", whereas "kings" ("king" is followed by "s") is the last entry.

a. Kingdom come
