  2. B

  3. C

  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

To arrange the words according to English dictionary order, we compare them letter by letter from left to right:
All words start with 'Re-'. Let's look at the third letter:

Regular

Rehearse

Regard

Refugee

Refine

Comparing the third letters ('f', 'g', 'h'): 'f' comes first, then 'g', then 'h'.

Step 1: Compare words starting with 'Ref-':

Refi... ('i' comes first)

Refu... ('u' comes next)
So, 5 comes before 4. Sequence so far: 5, 4

Step 2: Compare words starting with 'Reg-':

Rega... ('a' comes first)

Regu... ('u' comes next)
So, 3 comes before 1. Sequence so far: 5, 4, 3, 1

Step 3: The remaining word is 2 (Rehearse) which has 'h' as the third letter.
So, the final sequence is: 5, 4, 3, 1, 2
