Arrange the given words in the sequence in which they occur in the dictionary and then choose the correct sequence
1. Page 2. Pagan 3. Palisade 4.Pageant 5. Palate
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
To arrange the words in alphabetical (dictionary) order, we look at them letter by letter:
- Pagan (P-a-g-a-n) comes first because 'a' comes before 'e'.
- Page (P-a-g-e) comes next.
- Pageant (P-a-g-e-a...) follows "Page" because it builds on it with an 'a'.
- Palate (P-a-l-a...) comes next, as 'a' comes before 'i'.
- Palisade (P-a-l-i...) comes last.
So, the correct dictionary order is 2, 1, 4, 5, 3.
