Explanation:

The Entry Word is no. 1 because it represents the word in question.

Respelling is meant to show how the word is to be pronounced using phonetics so it is no. 2.

Alternate forms show the other forms of the word such as it in noun form, plural and the like so that is no.3.

Etymology refers to how a word came about so in referring to the original word which is ''Vocable'', we are being told the origin of the word.

The Definition of the word is evidently what the word means which is no. 5.

A Synonym is another word that has the same or a similar meaning to the word in question so it is no. 6.

An Illustrative quote is meant to show the word in use so this is no. 7.
