Arrange the following words as per order in the dictionary.

(i) Pragmatic (ii) Protect
(iii) Pastel (iv) Postal
(v) Pebble

  • A.(iv), (iii), (v), (ii), (i)
  • B.(iii), (v), (iv), (i), (ii)
  • C.(iii), (iv), (v), (i), (ii)
  • D.(iv), (iii), (v), (i), (ii)

Answer: B

The dictionary order is (iii), (v), (iv), (i), (ii).

All five words begin with P, so compare the second letter: a (Pastel), e (Pebble), o (Postal), r (Pragmatic, Protect). Pragmatic and Protect both have r, so the third letter decides: a comes before o.

That gives Pastel, Pebble, Postal, Pragmatic, Protect. The options starting with Postal (iv) misplace it, and the option with Postal before Pebble ignores that e comes before o.
