Dictionary Order Arrangement
To arrange the words in English dictionary order, we compare them letter by letter.
Step 1: Compare Initial Letters
- All words start with 'P'.
- The second letter for all words is 'i'.
Step 2: Compare Third Letter
- The third letters are 'g' (Pigment) and 'l' (Pile, Pilgrim, Pillow).
- Since 'g' comes before 'l' in the alphabet, Pigment comes first.
Step 3: Compare Remaining Words
- We now need to order Pile, Pilgrim, and Pillow.
- Compare the fourth letter: 'e' (Pile), 'g' (Pilgrim), 'l' (Pillow).
- Alphabetical order is e < g < l.
- Therefore, the order is Pile, then Pilgrim, then Pillow.
Step 4: Final Sequence
Combining the results, the correct dictionary order is:
Pigment $\rightarrow$ Pile $\rightarrow$ Pilgrim $\rightarrow$ Pillow
This matches Option B.
