Mink: a small, carnivorous mammal with a long body, short legs, and dark fur, known for its sleek appearance and semi-aquatic lifestyle. Mongoose: a small, carnivorous mammal with a long body, short legs, and a long tail, known for its agility, speed, and ability to kill venomous snakes.
On a page with the guide words "mink" and "mongoose," you will find words that alphabetically fall between these two entries. This includes words like "mini," "minnow," "mint," and "mingle." The page will cover various terms starting with "m" that are listed before "mongoose" in the dictionary.

It depends on your dictionary. This question is probably to see if you know how to use the dictionary. To find the answer, find the word notable in your dictionary and then you will see the guide words. The guide words are at the top of the page and show the first and last word on the page in order to guide you to your word.In my dictionary, Webster's New World College Dictionary, Fourth Edition, "notable" is on the page with the guide words "Norwegian elkhound" and "note."
You would likely find a short, easy-to-understand definition of the word "vanquish" in an abridged dictionary of the English language. A legal dictionary would focus more on legal terminology and definitions as they relate to the law. An unabridged dictionary of the Latin language would provide detailed definitions of Latin words, not English words like "vanquish."
