Solution

To arrange the given words in the sequence in which they occur in the dictionary, you would follow alphabetical order. Here are the steps:

  1. Look at the first letter of each word. All words start with 'S', so we move to the second letter.
  2. The second letter of each word is 'e' for all words, so we move to the third letter.
  3. The third letters are 'l', 'n', 'l', 'l', 'l' respectively. 'n' comes first in the alphabet, so "Send" is the first word.
  4. Now we have to arrange "Select", "Seldom", "Selfish", "Seller". The fourth letters are 'e', 'd', 'f', 'l' respectively. 'd' comes first, so "Seldom" is the second word.
  5. Now we have to arrange "Select", "Selfish", "Seller". The fourth letters are 'e', 'f', 'l' respectively. 'e' comes first, so "Select" is the third word.
  6. Now we have to arrange "Selfish", "Seller". The fourth letters are 'f', 'l' respectively. 'f' comes first, so "Selfish" is the fourth word.
  7. The last word left is "Seller", so it is the fifth word.

So, the correct sequence is: 3. Send, 2. Seldom, 1. Select, 4. Selfish, 5. Seller.
