Arrange the given words in the sequence in which they occur in the dictionary.
i. Irrelevant
ii. Invincible
iii. Irresistible
iv. Invariable
v. Investigate

  1. A
    iv, ii, v, iii, i
  2. B
    iv, v, i, iii, ii
  3. C
    ii, v, iv, i, iii
  4. D
    iv, v, ii, i, iii

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's determine the alphabetical order of the given words:
All words start with either "Inv..." or "Irr...". Since 'n' comes before 'r', "Inv..." words come first.

Comparing "Inv" words:

iv. Invariable ("Inva...") comes first.

ii. Invincible ("Invi...") and v. Investigate ("Inve..."). Comparing the 4th letter: 'e' comes before 'i', so Investigate comes before Invincible.

Therefore, the first three words are: iv, v, ii.

Comparing "Irr" words:

i. Irrelevant ("Irre...") vs iii. Irresistible ("Irre..."). Comparing the 5th letter: 'l' comes before 's', so Irrelevant comes first.

Therefore, the last two words are: i, iii.

Combining the sequence together, we get: iv, v, ii, i, iii.
