  2. B
    1, 2, 4, 3, 5
  3. C
    1, 3, 2, 4, 5
  4. D
    1, 5, 4, 2, 3

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

To arrange the words in alphabetical order:
All words start with 'Gl'. Let's look at the third letter:

Glacier -> 'a'

Gloomy -> 'o'

Glossy -> 'o'

Glorious -> 'o'

Glitter -> 'i'

Comparing the third letters ('a', 'o', 'o', 'o', 'i'):

'a' comes first: 1. Glacier

'i' comes next: 5. Glitter

Now compare the remaining words starting with 'Glo':
2. Gloomy -> fourth letter is 'o'
3. Glossy -> fourth letter is 's'
4. Glorious -> fourth letter is 'r'

Comparing the fourth letters ('o', 's', 'r'):

'r' comes before 's', and 'o' comes before 'r'.

So, 'o' (Gloomy) comes first among them: 2

Then 'r' (Glorious): 4

Then 's' (Glossy): 3

Combining the full order: 1, 5, 4, 2, 3.
