Including words such as book, boot, boost, born or boss. Thus, from the options the only word that would appear between the guide words bone and bow is book as these words are the first word and the last word that appear in a list of words alphabetically organized and the word "book" is after "bone", but before "boss" in terms of alphabetically order which means "book" will appear between these two words in a dictionary or glossary.
