Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's arrange the words alphabetically step by step:All words start with 'Pa'. Comparing the third letters:Pac... (2, 4)Pai... (1, 3)Par... (5)Let's order within the subgroups:Between Pace (2) and Package (4): third and fourth letters 'c' vs 'c', then fifth letter 'e' vs 'k'. Since 'e' comes before 'k', Pace (2) comes first, followed by Package (4).Between Painter (1) and Pair (3): 'Pai' is identical, the fourth letter 'n' vs 'r'. Since 'n' comes before 'r', Painter (1) comes next, followed by Pair (3).Finally, Paragraph (5) starts with 'Par', which places it last.Combining the complete sequence gives: 2, 4, 1, 3, 5.
