To determine the correct arrangement of the given words in the order they appear in an English dictionary, we need to compare the words based on alphabetical order letter by letter. Here are the words given:
- PREREQUISITE
- PRESCRIPTION
- PREPOSITION
- PREROGATIVE
- PREPOSTEROUS
Let's break it down step-by-step:
- Compare the first few letters: All words start with "PRE-", so we compare them based on the subsequent letters.
- Fourth letter comparison:
- PREPOSITION
- PREQUISITE
- PREROGATIVE
- PRESCRIPTION
- PREPOSTEROUS
- From the above, identify the sequence as PREPOSITION and PREPOSTEROUS first.
- Then, we proceed to the next sets:
- PREREQUISITE
- PREROGATIVE
- PRESCRIPTION
- Fifth letter comparison from "PREROGATIVE," "PREREQUISITE," "PRESCRIPTION":
- PREREQUISITE
- PREROGATIVE
- PRESCRIPTION (already identified later)
- The sequence from here becomes PREREQUISITE, PREROGATIVE, and finally PRESCRIPTION.
Thus, the correct order as per the dictionary is PREPOSITION, PREPOSTEROUS, PREREQUISITE, PREROGATIVE, PRESCRIPTION.
The correct option is therefore: 3, 5, 1, 4, 2
