Explanation:
To arrange the words alphabetically, we compare them letter by letter:

1. All words start with “Spect”.
2. The next letter is different:
* “Specter” (e)
* “Spectrum” (r)
* “Spectacular” (a)
* “Spectator” (a)
* “Spectroscope” (r)
3. “Specter” is first as ‘e’ comes before ‘a’ and ‘r’.

4. Next, compare “Spectacular” and “Spectator”: “Spectacular” has “acu” while “Spectator” has “ato”, “acu” comes before “ato”, thus “Spectacular” comes before “Spectator”

5. Next Compare “Spectrum” and “Spectroscope”: “Spectrum” has “um” and “Spectroscope” has “oscop”, thus “oscop” comes before “um”.

Therefore, the order is: Specter, Spectrum, Spectacular, Spectator, Spectroscope.

Explanation: To arrange the words in dictionary order, we need to compare them letter by letter.
1. All words start with “B”.
2. The next letters are “e” for all words except “Bench” which has “e”.
3. Now we have “Benevolent”, “Benefit”, “Benefitial”, “Bended” and “Bench”.
4. Looking at the next letter, “Benefit” starts with “n”, and “Benefitial” has “n”. “Bench” starts with “n” “Bended” has “n”.
5. Comparing the letters:
– Bended (4)
– Bench (5)
– Benefit (1)
– Benefitial (3)
– Benevolent (2)

Therefore, the correct order is 4, 5, 1, 3, 2

Ans: B

Explanation: The words all start with “Rep”. To order them alphabetically, we need to look at the next letter.
* Rep**l**icate – 3
* Rep**r**ehend – 4
* Rep**r**esent – 5
* Rep**l**ete – 2
* Rep**r**ieve – 1
Now, within the words starting “Repr”, we look at the next letter:
* Repri… (Reprimand) – 4
* Repre… (Represent) – 5
* Repri… (Reprieve) – 1

Then sort by comparing remaining letters and complete word.
Thus the order is: Reprimand, Replete, Represent, Reprieve, Replicate

Ans: B

Explanation: The words all start with “Spec”. We need to look at the next letter after “Spec” to arrange them alphabetically:

1. Spectacle (a, as in spec-ta-cle)
2. Spectator (a, as in spec-ta-tor)
3. Speculate (u, as in spec-u-late)
4. Spectrum (t, as in spec-trum)
5. Spectacular (t, as in spec-ta-cu-lar)

Now, within the “a” starting words, we must look at the next letters:
– Spectacle (c)
– Spectator (t)

So, in alphabetical order, it should be: Spectacle, Spectator, Speculate, Spectrum, Spectacular

Which corresponds to:
2, 4, 3, 5, 1.
