    C 4, 3, 1, 2, 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3, 1, 4, 2, 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The words are arranged according to their alphabetical order letter by letter: All words start with Fa-. Comparing the third letters: i (Faith), l (Falcon, Falter), t (Father, Faulty). 3- Faith comes first (i comes before l and t). Between 4- Falcon and 1- Falter: 'c' comes before 't', so 4 comes before 1. Between 2- Father and 5- Faulty: 'h' comes before 'u', so 2 comes before 5. The correct dictionary order will be: 3- Faith, 4- Falcon, 1- Falter, 2- Father, 5- Faulty. So, '3, 4, 1, 2, 5' represents the correct dictionary order. Hence, option A.
