Select the correct option that indicates the arrangement of the given words in the order in which they appear in an English dictionary.
Despite

Destroy

Departure

Derivatives

Detention

To arrange the words in alphabetical order, compare letter by letter from left to right:
All words begin with 'De-'. Let's look at the third letter of each word:

Despite (Third letter is 's')

Destroy (Third letter is 's')

Departure (Third letter is 'p')

Derivatives (Third letter is 'r')

Detention (Third letter is 't')

Comparing the third letters ('s', 's', 'p', 'r', 't'):

'p' comes first → 3. Departure

'r' comes next → 4. Derivatives

Now compare words starting with 'des':

Despite (Fourth letter is 'p')

Destroy (Fourth letter is 't')
Since 'p' comes before 't':

Despite comes next

Destroy comes after that

Finally, the remaining word:

Detention (Third letter 't' comes last)

Putting it all together, the exact dictionary order is: 3, 4, 1, 2, 5.
