Arrange the following words in the sequence they will appear in a dictionary:
A. Professional
B. Pressure
C. Prescription
D. Prosecution
E. Production
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → C, B, E, A, D
All five words begin with PR, so the order is decided by the first letter in which the words differ:
Third letter: e comes before o, so Prescription (C) and Pressure (B) come before Production (E), Professional (A) and Prosecution (D).
Prescription (C) and Pressure (B) share “Pres”; the fifth letter c comes before s, so Prescription comes first.
Production (E), Professional (A) and Prosecution (D) share “Pro”; the fourth letters d, f and s put them in that order.
