Question

Arrange the given words in the sequence in which they occur in the dictionary. 1. Change 2. Chance 3. Channel 4. Chant 5. Chancellor

The correct answer is

2, 5, 1, 3, 4

Step-by-Step Explanation:

To arrange the words in dictionary order, we compare them letter by letter from left to right:

All words start with "Cha", so we examine the 4th letter:

Chance (2): "n" (4th letter)

Chancellor (5): "n" (4th letter)

Change (1): "n" (4th letter)

Channel (3): "n" (4th letter)

Chant (4): "n" (4th letter)

Since the 4th letters are identical, we check the 5th letter:

Chance (2): "e" (5th letter)

Chancellor (5): "e" (5th letter)

Change (1): "g" (5th letter)

Channel (3): "e" (5th letter)

Chant (4): "t" (5th letter)

"e" comes before "g" and "t", so Chance (2) and Chancellor (5) and Channel (3) come before Change (1) and Chant (4).

Among words with 5th letter "e" (Chance, Chancellor, Channel), we check further letters:

Chance (2): ends at "e" (5 letters total)

Chancellor (5): "l" (6th letter)

Channel (3): "l" (6th letter)

"Chance" (2) comes first as it's shorter.

Between "Chancellor" and "Channel":

Both have "l" as 6th letter

"Chancellor" has "e" (7th) vs "Channel" has "n" (7th) → "e" comes before "n"

Final Order:

Chance (2)

Chancellor (5)

Change (1)

Channel (3)

Chant (4)

Conclusion:
The correct dictionary sequence is 2, 5, 1, 3, 4.

We are asked to arrange the words in the order in which they appear in the dictionary. Let's look at each word and sort them alphabetically:

Given words:

Change

Chance

Channel

Chant

Chancellor


We compare them letter by letter:

All words start with "Chan", so we look at the next letters.

Now compare based on the next letters after "Chan":

Chance → c

Chancellor → c + e

Change → g

Channel → n

Chant → t

Now arrange them:

Chance

Chancellor

Change

Channel

Chant

Corresponding numbers:
2, 5, 1, 3, 4

Correct Answer: Option 4 — 2, 5, 1, 3, 4

The correct answer is

2, 5, 1, 3, 4

Here's the breakdown of why the answer is 2, 5, 1, 3, 4:

  • 2. Chance: This comes first because "chan" is the beginning of all the words, and "c" comes before "g," "l," and "t."
  • 5. Chancellor: After "Chance," "Chancellor" comes next because "chanc" is followed by "e" in "Change" but "l" in "Chancellor" and l comes before e in dictionary order.
  • 1. Change: Following "Chancellor," "Change" is next because "chan" is followed by "g" and the remaining words begin with chan followed by l or t.
  • 3. Channel: After "Change," "Channel" comes next because "chan" is followed by "l" and the next word is chant.
  • 4. Chant: Finally, "Chant" comes last.

Therefore, the correct order is: Chance, Chancellor, Change, Channel, Chant.
