Dictionary Order Reasoning

To determine the correct dictionary order, we compare the words letter by letter from the beginning.

Word Analysis

  • Retail
  • Remark
  • Reward
  • Remote
  • Revoke

Dictionary Ordering Steps

  1. Compare First Letters: All words begin with 'R'.
  2. Compare Second Letters: All words start with 'Re'.
  3. Compare Third Letters:
    • Retail (t)
    • Remark (m)
    • Reward (w)
    • Remote (m)
    • Revoke (v)
    Based on the third letter, the order is determined by 'm', 't', 'v', 'w'. Words starting with 'Rem' will come first.
  4. Compare 'Remark' and 'Remote':
    • Remark
    • Remote
    The fourth letters are 'a' (Remark) and 'o' (Remote). Since 'a' comes before 'o' alphabetically, 'Remark' comes before 'Remote'.
  5. Establish Full Order:
    • Remark (2) - 'Rema...'
    • Remote (4) - 'Remo...'
    • Retail (1) - 'Ret...'
    • Revoke (5) - 'Rev...'
    • Reward (3) - 'Rew...'
    The complete sequence based on alphabetical comparison is: Remark, Remote, Retail, Revoke, Reward.
  6. Final Sequence: The corresponding numbers for this order are 2, 4, 1, 5, 3.

Therefore, the correct order is 24153.
