To arrange the words in alphabetical order:Compare the first two letters of all words: All start with 'Br' or 'Bu'.'Br' comes before 'Bu'.'Br' words: Browse (2), Bruise (4), Brutal (1)'Bu' words: Bubble (3), Buckle (5)Let's arrange the 'Br' words:3rd letter comparison: Bro... (2), Bru... (4), Bru... (1)'o' comes before 'u', so Browse (2) is first.Comparing Bruise (4) and Brutal (1): 4th letter is 'i' in Bruise and 't' in Brutal. 'i' comes before 't'.So order is: Browse (2) Bruise (4) Brutal (1).Let's arrange the 'Bu' words:Comparing Bubble (3) and Buckle (5): 3rd letter is 'b' in Bubble and 'c' in Buckle. 'b' comes before 'c'.So order is: Bubble (3) Buckle (5).Combining them, the correct dictionary order is: 2, 4, 1, 3, 5.
