Select the option that indicates the correct arrangement of the given words in the order in which they appear in an English dictionary.
1. Elate
2. Election
3. Elbow
4. Elastic
5. Electoral

Let's arrange the words step-by-step according to English alphabetical order: All words begin with 'El'. We compare the subsequent letters:
6. Elate (3rd letter 'a')
7. Election (3rd letter 'e')
8. Elbow (3rd letter 'b')
9. Elastic (3rd letter 'a')
10. Electoral (3rd letter 'e')

* Comparing 'a', 'b', and 'e': 'a' comes first, then 'b', then 'e'.
* Let's compare the two words starting with 'Ela' (1 and 4) by their 4th letters:
* 1. Elate (4th letter 't')

* 4. Elastic (4th letter 's')
Since 's' comes before 't', 4. Elastic comes first, followed by 1. Elate.

* Next comes the word with 'Elb': 3. Elbow.
* Now compare the two words starting with 'Ele' (2 and 5): Both share the common prefix 'Elect'. Let's compare their 6th letters:
* 2. Election (6th letter 'i')

* 5. Electoral (6th letter 'o')
Since 'i' comes before 'o', 2. Election comes next, followed by 5. Electoral.

Putting it all together, the correct dictionary sequence is: 4, 1, 3, 2, 5.
