Explanation:

Here’s the thing—if you want to nail the dictionary order, you’ve got to look really closely at those first few letters. Let’s break it down:

- 5. Perturb (starts with Pe)

- 2. Precision (Pr—so it comes after Pe)

- 4. Pneumonia (Pn—should come after Precision because “n” comes after “e” in “Pr” vs “Pn”)

- 3. Puberty (Pu…this is further after “Pn”)

- 1. Publicity (also Pu but comes after Puberty because “b” in “bur” comes before “l” in “bli”—wait, actually, “bli” comes before “ber”, so Publicity would come after Puberty)

Now, let’s look more closely at your options:

Option 1: 1, 5, 3, 2, 4, 1

This can’t be right—starts with Publicity, which is not the first.

Option 2: 2, 5, 4, 2, 1, 3

Repeats Precision, mix is off.

Option 3: 3, 5, 4, 2, 3, 1

Puberty, Perturb, Pneumonia, Precision, Puberty, Publicity—Puberty before Perturb isn’t right.

Option 4: 4, 5, 2, 4, 1, 3

Starts with Pneumonia—shouldn’t.

Let’s list them in dictionary order for real:

1. Perturb (Pe)

2. Precision (Pr)

3. Pneumonia (Pn)

4. Puberty (Pub)

5. Publicity (Publ...)

Actually, this order will be:

1. Perturb (Pe)

2. Pneumonia (Pn)

3. Precision (Pr)

4. Puberty (Pub)

5. Publicity (Publ)

But what’s the actual set of choices? None of the options exactly match. But ordering strictly:

1. Perturb

2. Pneumonia

3. Precision

4. Puberty

5. Publicity

But none of the given options matches that sequence.
