The correct answer is

4,5,3,2,1

To arrange the given words in dictionary order, we compare them alphabetically letter by letter:

  1. Latent
  2. Latitude
  3. Lattice
  4. Laugh
  5. Launch

Explanation:

1. Compare the first few letters of each word: 'Latent', 'Latitude', and 'Lattice' all start with "Lat". Thus, they proceed before 'Laugh' and 'Launch', which start with "Lau".

2. Next, compare 'Latent', 'Latitude', and 'Lattice':

  • 'Latent' comes before 'Latitude' as it is shorter and matches up to "Laten".
  • 'Latitude' comes before 'Lattice'. The first five letters match ('Latit'), but 'Latitude' has 'u' next, which comes before 'c' in 'Lattice'.

3. Now consider 'Laugh' and 'Launch':

  • Both start with the same letters 'Lau'.
  • 'Laugh' comes before 'Launch' as it is alphabetically smaller due to 'g' coming before 'n' in the sequence.

Thus, the correct order in a dictionary: Latent, Latitude, Lattice, Laugh, Launch.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

4,5,3,2,1
