Arrange the given words in the sequence in which they occur in the dictionary.
1. Prick
2. Pride
3. Prig
4. Priest
5. Price

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

All words start with Pri, so let's compare the fourth letter:

Price (5) — The fourth letter is c.

Prick (1) — The fourth letter is c, but the fifth letter is k (which comes after the e in Price).

Pride (2) — The fourth letter is d.

Priest (4) — The fourth letter is e.

Prig (3) — The fourth letter is g.

Correct order:

5→1→2→4→3

(Price → Prick → Pride → Priest → Prig)

Correct answer: 51243
