Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's arrange the words according to alphabetical dictionary order:All words start with 'Pat'. Let's look at the 4th letter:Patella (4th letter 'e')Patent (4th letter 'e')Paternalism (4th letter 'e')Patience (4th letter 'i')Patient (4th letter 'i')Comparing 5, 1, and 4 (all have 'pate'):Patell... ('l') comes first. So 5 is first.Patent... ('n') comes next. So 1 is second.Patern... ('r') comes after. So 4 is third.Comparing 3 and 2 (both have 'patien'):Patienc... ('c') comes before 't'. So 3 is fourth.Patient... ('t') comes last. So 2 is fifth.Hence, the correct alphabetical sequence is 5, 1, 4, 3, 2.
