Dictionary Order Word Arrangement
The task is to arrange the given words in the order they would appear in an English dictionary. This requires comparing the words letter by letter from the beginning.
The words are:
- 1. Prophet
- 2. Prong
- 3. Propensity
- 4. Propose
Step-by-Step Comparison
-
All words start with "Pro". We need to compare the 4th letter.
- Prophet (4th letter: P)
- Prong (4th letter: N)
- Propensity (4th letter: P)
- Propose (4th letter: P)
The letter 'N' comes before 'P' in the alphabet. Therefore, Prong (2) is the first word in the dictionary order.
-
Now, we compare the remaining words that start with "Prop": Prophet (1), Propensity (3), and Propose (4). We look at the 5th letter.
- Prophet (1)
- Propensity (3)
- Propose (4)
Comparing the 5th letters: 'e', 'h', 'o'. In alphabetical order, 'e' comes first, followed by 'h', and then 'o'.
- Therefore, Propensity (3) is the second word.
- Next is Prophet (1).
- Last is Propose (4).
Final Dictionary Order
Combining the steps, the correct dictionary order is:
Prong (2), Propensity (3), Prophet (1), Propose (4)
This corresponds to the sequence: 2, 3, 1, 4.
