Arrange the following words as per the order in the dictionary. 1. Wagnor 2. Wagged 3. Wabash 4. Waggon 5. Wackily
3 5 2 4 1
To arrange words in dictionary order, compare them letter by letter from left to right.
All five words begin with 'Wa', so move to the third letter to separate them.
The third letters are: Wabash (b), Wackily (c), Wagged (g), Waggon (g), Wagnor (g).
Since b comes before c, and c before g: Wabash (3) is first and Wackily (5) is second.
Among Wagged, Waggon and Wagnor the third letter is g, so compare the fourth letter: Wagged and Waggon have 'g', while Wagnor has 'n', so Wagnor comes last.
Between Wagged and Waggon the fifth letters are 'e' and 'o'; e comes before o, so Wagged (2) precedes Waggon (4).
The full dictionary order is Wabash, Wackily, Wagged, Waggon, Wagnor, i.e. 3, 5, 2, 4, 1.
Hence the correct sequence is 3 5 2 4 1.
