Arranging Words in Dictionary Order
To arrange the given words in the sequence in which they occur in the dictionary, we need to follow certain rules:
1. First, we compare the first letter of each word.
2. If the first letter is the same, then we move on to the second letter, and so on until we find a letter that is different.
3. If one word is a prefix of another word, the word with the shorter prefix comes first.
4. If all the letters of one word come before the letters of another word in the alphabet, the word that comes first in the alphabet comes first in the dictionary order.
Now, let's arrange the given words in the dictionary order.
1. Taste
2. Tangle
3. Trimmed
4. Triangle
5. Tussle
Explanation:
- The first letter of all the words is "T".
- The second letter of the first three words is "a", "a", and "r", respectively. Therefore, "Taste" comes first, followed by "Tangle", and then "Trimmed".
- The second letter of the last two words is "u". Therefore, we move on to the third letter, which is "s" in both the words. Therefore, we compare the fourth letter, which is "l" in "Tussle" and "i" in "Triangle". As "l" comes before "i" in the alphabet, "Tussle" comes before "Triangle" in the dictionary order.
Therefore, the correct sequence of the given words in the dictionary order is 54123, which is option D.
