The question asks to identify the sequence of words arranged in the order they appear in an English dictionary. This means we need to determine the correct alphabetical order for the given words.
Dictionary Order Identification
To find the correct dictionary order, we compare the words letter by letter.
Step 1: List the words
The words to be ordered are:
- Antigen
- Antique
- Antipathy
- Apology
- Branch
Step 2: Compare the words alphabetically
1. All words starting with 'A' come before 'Branch' (which starts with 'B').
2. Compare the words starting with 'Ant': Antigen, Antique, Antipathy.
- Compare 'Antigen' and 'Antipathy': The first difference is at the 5th letter ('g' vs 'p'). Since 'g' comes before 'p' in the alphabet, 'Antigen' comes before 'Antipathy'.
- Compare 'Antipathy' and 'Antique': The first difference is at the 5th letter ('p' vs 'q'). Since 'p' comes before 'q', 'Antipathy' comes before 'Antique'.
- Therefore, the order for these three words is: Antigen $\rightarrow$ Antipathy $\rightarrow$ Antique.
3. Now compare 'Antique' with 'Apology'.
- 'Antique' starts with 'Antiq...'.
- 'Apology' starts with 'Apol...'.
- Comparing the second letter: 'n' in 'Antique' comes before 'p' in 'Apology'. Therefore, all words starting with 'Ant' come before 'Apology'.
- The sequence so far: Antigen $\rightarrow$ Antipathy $\rightarrow$ Antique $\rightarrow$ Apology.
4. Finally, add 'Branch' to the end, as 'B' comes after 'A'.
- The complete dictionary order is: Antigen $\rightarrow$ Antipathy $\rightarrow$ Antique $\rightarrow$ Apology $\rightarrow$ Branch.
Step 3: Match with the options
This sequence matches Option 3.
