Reasoning — Dictionary Order

Let's arrange the words as per dictionary order: All words start with 'Ap'. 1. **Apparent** (Comparing the third letter, 'a' in Apparent comes first among 'p' words.) 2. **Apple** (Comparing 'l' in Apple/Apply with 'r' in Appreciate, 'l' comes first. Between Apple and Apply, 'e' comes before 'y'.) 3. **Apply** (Between Apple and Apply, 'y' comes after 'e'.) 4. **Appreciate** (Comparing 'r' in Appreciate with 'l' in Apple/Apply, 'r' comes later.) 5. **Aptitude** (Comparing the third letter, 't' in Aptitude comes after 'p' in others.) The correct order is (4), (2), (1), (3), (5).

Let's arrange the words as per dictionary order: All words start with 'Ch'. 1. **Chair** (Comparing the third letter: 'a' in Chair/Charm/Chart/Chase, 'e' in Cheap. So Cheap is last. Among 'a' words, 'i' in Chair comes first.) 2. **Charm** (Between Charm, Chart, Chase: 'a' is common. Next letter: 'r' in Charm/Chart, 's' in Chase. So Chase is after Charm/Chart. Between Charm and Chart, 'm' comes before 't'.) 3. **Chart** (Between Charm and Chart, 't' comes after 'm'.) 4. **Chase** (Comparing 's' in Chase with 'r' in Charm/Chart, 's' comes later.) 5. **Cheap** (Comparing the third letter, 'e' in Cheap comes after 'a' in others.) The correct order is (3), (5), (1), (4), (2).

Let's arrange the words as per dictionary order: All words start with 'Light'. 1. **Light** (This is the shortest word, so it comes first.) 2. **Lighten** (Comparing the next letter: 'e' in Lighten, 'e' in Lighter, 'i' in Lighting, 'l' in Lightly. 'e' comes first. Between Lighten and Lighter, 'n' comes before 'r'.) 3. **Lighter** (Between Lighten and Lighter, 'r' comes after 'n'.) 4. **Lightly** (Comparing 'l' in Lightly with 'i' in Lighting, 'l' comes after 'i'. So Lightly is before Lighting.) 5. **Lighting** (Comparing 'i' in Lighting with 'l' in Lightly, 'i' comes first. So Lighting is after Lightly.) The correct order is (1), (4), (2), (5), (3).

Let's arrange the words as per dictionary order: All words start with 'Sc'. Comparing the third letter: * 'e' in Scenery, Scent, Scheme, Science * 'i' in Scissor So, Scissor comes last. Now compare Scenery, Scent, Scheme, Science (all start with 'Sce'). Comparing the fourth letter: * 'n' in Scenery, Scent * 'h' in Scheme * 'i' in Science 'h' comes first, so Scheme is 3rd. Between Scenery and Scent (both start with 'Scen'): * 'e' in Scenery * 't' in Scent 'e' comes before 't'. So Scenery is 1st, Scent is 2nd. Comparing Science (starts with 'Sci') with others: 'i' comes after 'h', 'e'. So the order is: 1. **Scenery** (3) 2. **Scent** (4) 3. **Scheme** (5) 4. **Science** (1) 5. **Scissor** (2) The correct order is (3), (4), (5), (1), (2).

Let's arrange the words as per dictionary order: All words start with 'Cal'. Comparing the fourth letter: * 'c' in Calculate * 'e' in Calendar * 'i' in Caliber * 'l' in Callous * 'm' in Calm Alphabetical order of these letters: c, e, i, l, m. So the order is: 1. **Calculate** (2) ('c' comes first) 2. **Calendar** (3) ('e' comes after 'c') 3. **Caliber** (4) ('i' comes after 'e') 4. **Callous** (5) ('l' comes after 'i') 5. **Calm** (1) ('m' comes last) The correct order is (2), (3), (4), (5), (1).

Let's arrange the words as per dictionary order: All words start with 'Ad'. Comparing the third letter: * 'm' in Administration, Admonition, Admixture * 'o' in Adornment * 'r' in Adrenaline Alphabetical order of these third letters: 'm', 'o', 'r'. So, words (1), (2), (3) come first, then (4), then (5). Now, let's order (1), (2), (3) (all start with 'Adm'): * (1) Administration (Adm**i**nistration) * (2) Admonition (Adm**o**nition) * (3) Admixture (Adm**i**xture) Comparing the fourth letter: 'i' (for 1 and 3) comes before 'o' (for 2). So, Admonition (2) comes after Administration (1) and Admixture (3). Now, compare (1) and (3) (both start with 'Admi'): * (1) Administration (Admi**n**istration) * (3) Admixture (Admi**x**ture) Comparing the fifth letter: 'n' comes before 'x'. So, Administration (1) comes before Admixture (3). The order for the 'Adm' words is: (1), (3), (2). Now, let's order (4) and (5): * (4) Adornment (Ad**o**rnment) * (5) Adrenaline (Ad**r**enaline) Comparing the third letter: 'o' comes before 'r'. So, Adornment (4) comes before Adrenaline (5). Combining all parts, the correct dictionary order is: 1. **Administration** (1) 2. **Admixture** (3) 3. **Admonition** (2) 4. **Adornment** (4) 5. **Adrenaline** (5) The correct order is (1), (3), (2), (4), (5).

Let's arrange the words as per dictionary order: All words start with 'Cont'. Comparing the fifth letter: * 'e' in Contemplate, Contention, Context * 'i' in Contiguous * 'r' in Contrast Alphabetical order of these fifth letters: 'e', 'i', 'r'. So, words (1), (2), (3) come first, then (4), then (5). Now, let's order (1), (2), (3) (all start with 'Conte'): * (1) Contemplate (Conte**m**plate) * (2) Contention (Conte**n**tion) * (3) Context (Conte**x**t) Comparing the sixth letter: 'm' (1) comes before 'n' (2), which comes before 'x' (3). So, the order for these three is: 1. **Contemplate** (1) 2. **Contention** (2) 3. **Context** (3) Following this, we have: 4. **Contiguous** (4) (because its fifth letter 'i' comes after 'e') 5. **Contrast** (5) (because its fifth letter 'r' comes after 'i') The correct dictionary order is: Contemplate, Contention, Context, Contiguous, Contrast. The corresponding sequence of numbers is (1), (2), (3), (4), (5).
