Select the option that represents the correct order of the given words as they would appear in an English dictionary. 1. Mistake 2. Mild 3. Mist 4. Migrate 5. Milk
4, 2, 5, 3, 1
All five words begin with 'Mi'. Compare from the third letter onward:
1. Mistake → M-I-S-T-A-K-E
2. Mild → M-I-L-D
3. Mist → M-I-S-T
4. Migrate → M-I-G-R-A-T-E
5. Milk → M-I-L-K
Third letter order: G < L < S. So Migrate comes first.
Words with third letter L: Mild (Mi-L-D) and Milk (Mi-L-K). D < K, so Mild before Milk → order: Mild(2), Milk(5).
Words with third letter S: Mist (Mi-S-T) and Mistake (Mi-S-T-A-K-E). Both share Mi-S-T; Mist ends after T, while Mistake continues with A. A shorter word that is a prefix of a longer word comes first in a dictionary. So Mist(3) before Mistake(1).
Final dictionary order: Migrate(4), Mild(2), Milk(5), Mist(3), Mistake(1) → 4, 2, 5, 3, 1.
