English Dictionary Word Arrangement

To arrange words according to the English dictionary, we compare them letter by letter from left to right. The word with the letter that comes first alphabetically at the first point of difference will be placed earlier in the dictionary order.

Alphabetical Comparison Steps

Let's compare the given words step-by-step to determine their correct dictionary order:

1. First Letter Comparison: All words begin with "A".
2. Second Letter Comparison: All words begin with "Ap".
3. Third Letter Comparison: All words begin with "App".
4. Fourth Letter Comparison: This is where we find the first differences.
   • Appropriate: Appropriate
   • Appreciate: Appreciate
   • Appearance: Appearance
   • Application: Application
   • Applaud: Applaud

   Comparing the fourth letters ('r', 'r', 'e', 'l', 'l'), 'e' comes first alphabetically, followed by 'l', and then 'r'.

   • So, "Appearance" (3) will be the first word.
5. Fifth Letter Comparison (for words starting with 'Appl'): Now we compare "Application" (4) and "Applaud" (5), both starting with "Appl".
   • Application: Application
   • Applaud: Applaud

   Comparing the fifth letters ('i' vs 'a'), 'a' comes before 'i'.

   • Therefore, "Applaud" (5) comes before "Application" (4).
6. Sixth Letter Comparison (for words starting with 'Appr'): Finally, we compare "Appropriate" (1) and "Appreciate" (2), both starting with "Appr".
   • Appropriate: Appropriate
   • Appreciate: Appreciate

   Wait, the fifth letters are different: 'o' vs 'e'.

   • Appropriate: Appropriate
   • Appreciate: Appreciate

   Comparing the fifth letters ('o' vs 'e'), 'e' comes before 'o'.

   • Therefore, "Appreciate" (2) comes before "Appropriate" (1).

Final Dictionary Order

Based on the letter-by-letter comparison, the words are arranged as follows:

So, the correct arrangement of the words according to the English dictionary is 3, 5, 4, 2, 1.
