Dictionary Ordering Logic
This question requires us to arrange a list of English words in the order they would appear in a standard English dictionary. Dictionary order, also known as alphabetical order, is determined by comparing words letter by letter from left to right.
Step 1: Initial Letter Comparison
All the given words start with the letter 'P'.
- Painter
- Pace
- Pair
- Package
- Paragraph
Step 2: Second Letter Comparison
The second letter for all words is 'a'. So, we move to the third letter.
Step 3: Third Letter Comparison
We compare the third letters of the words:
- Pace (c)
- Package (c)
- Pair (i)
- Painter (i)
- Paragraph (r)
Based on alphabetical order, 'c' comes before 'i', and 'i' comes before 'r'. Therefore, the words starting with 'Pac...' will come first, followed by words starting with 'Pai...', and finally the word starting with 'Par...'.
Step 4: Comparing Words Starting with 'Pac...'
We need to order 'Pace' and 'Package'. We look at the fourth letter:
- Pace (ce)
- Package (ck)
Since 'e' comes before 'k' in the alphabet, 'Pace' comes before 'Package'.
Order so far: Pace, Package
Step 5: Comparing Words Starting with 'Pai...'
Next, we order 'Pair' and 'Painter'. We look at the fourth letter:
- Pair (ir)
- Painter (in)
Since 'n' comes before 'r' in the alphabet, 'Painter' comes before 'Pair'.
Order so far: Pace, Package, Painter, Pair
Step 6: Final Word Comparison
The last word is 'Paragraph', which starts with 'Par...'. As established in Step 3, 'r' comes after 'c' and 'i', so 'Paragraph' will be the last word in the sequence.
Final Correct Order
Combining all the comparisons, the correct alphabetical order of the words is:
- Pace (Word #2)
- Package (Word #4)
- Painter (Word #1)
- Pair (Word #3)
- Paragraph (Word #5)
Therefore, the correct sequence is 2, 4, 1, 3, 5.
