Correct Answer :

Option D

Solution :

The correct option is 3, 2, 4, 5, 6, 1.

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

1. Conflagration (Conflagration) – The fourth letter is 'f', which comes before 's' in the alphabet. Therefore, word 3 comes first.
2. Conscience (Conscience) – Among the words starting with 'Cons', the fifth letter 'c' comes before 'e' and 'i'. Therefore, word 2 comes second.
3. Consequence (Consequence) – The fifth letter 'e' comes after 'c' but before 'i'. Therefore, word 4 comes third.
4. Considerable (Considerable) – Among the words starting with 'Consi', the sixth letter 'd' comes before 'g' and 's'. Therefore, word 5 comes fourth.
5. Consignment (Consignment) – The sixth letter 'g' comes after 'd' but before 's'. Therefore, word 6 comes fifth.
6. Consistence (Consistence) – The sixth letter 's' comes after 'g'. Therefore, word 1 comes last.

Thus, the correct dictionary sequence is 3, 2, 4, 5, 6, 1.
