Correct Answer :

Option B

2, 5, 3, 1, 4

Solution :

The correct option is 2, 5, 3, 1, 4.

To arrange the given words in the order in which they appear in an English dictionary, we compare their letters from left to right step-by-step:

1. Kibble
2. Kennel
3. Kettle
4. Kicker
5. Kernel

Step 1: All five words begin with the letter 'K'.

Step 2: Compare the second letter of each word:
- Kennel, Kettle, and Kernel have 'e' as the second letter.
- Kibble and Kicker have 'i' as the second letter.
Since 'e' comes before 'i' in the English alphabet, all words starting with 'Ke' will come before those starting with 'Ki'.

Step 3: Arrange the words starting with 'Ke' by comparing their third letter:
- Kennel (3rd letter is 'n')
- Kernel (3rd letter is 'r')
- Kettle (3rd letter is 't')
Since 'n' comes before 'r' and 'r' comes before 't', the correct sequence for these three words is:
2 (Kennel) → 5 (Kernel) → 3 (Kettle).

Step 4: Arrange the words starting with 'Ki' by comparing their third letter:
- Kibble (3rd letter is 'b')
- Kicker (3rd letter is 'c')
Since 'b' comes before 'c', the correct sequence for these two words is:
1 (Kibble) → 4 (Kicker).

Combining all steps, the complete dictionary arrangement of the words is: 2, 5, 3, 1, 4 (Kennel, Kernel, Kettle, Kibble, Kicker).
