Arrange the following words in the order in which they appear in a standard English dictionary. Use the numerical codes for the words: 1. Counter 2. Crop 3. Create 4. Carnation 5. Creator.

Introduction / Context:
This question again tests dictionary order, requiring precise comparison of alphabetic sequences. You are given five words together with numbers used as codes. Your role is to determine the correct dictionary order of the words and then select the matching numeric pattern. Such questions train you to pay very close attention to the sequence of letters beyond the first one or two positions, which is important in many reasoning and clerical tasks.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Words: 1. Counter, 2. Crop, 3. Create, 4. Carnation, 5. Creator.
• We apply standard English dictionary rules.
• Each word starts with the letter C, so later letters will decide the order.
• We must output the correct ordering as a sequence of codes like 41352.

Concept / Approach:
When words share the same starting letter, we look at the second, third, and successive letters to break ties. Alphabetical order is decided by the first position at which the letters differ. If one word is a prefix of another, the shorter word is considered earlier in the dictionary. Here, all words begin with C, so we start our comparison from the second letter and move step by step until a clear sequence emerges.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Examine the second letters: Counter (o), Crop (r), Create (r), Carnation (a), Creator (r). Step 2: The smallest second letter is 'a', so Carnation (4) must come first in dictionary order. Step 3: Between Counter (co...) and the group of 'cr...' words, 'o' comes before 'r', so Counter (1) comes immediately after Carnation. Step 4: Now compare the three 'cr...' words: Crop (cro...), Create (cre...), Creator (cre...). Since 'e' comes before 'o', the two Cre... words appear before Crop. Step 5: Among Create and Creator, they match up to 'creat'. Create ends earlier, so it comes before Creator. Therefore the order is Create (3), Creator (5), and then Crop (2). Step 6: Combining all, the final dictionary order is 4 (Carnation), 1 (Counter), 3 (Create), 5 (Creator), 2 (Crop), which gives 41352.

Verification / Alternative check:
You can quickly verify by writing the words in full and underlining their first three letters: Ca..., Co..., Cr.... All Ca words come first, then Co, then Cr. Within Cr, compare Cre with Cro to see that Cre words come first. Finally, Create precedes Creator because it is shorter after a common prefix. This supports the sequence 4, 1, 3, 5, 2 as the unique valid arrangement.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Option 41253 places the Cr words in the wrong order relative to one another. Option 43125 incorrectly puts Create (3) before Counter (1), even though 'co' should come before 'cr'. Option 43125 and 41325 similarly mismatch the placement of Creator and Crop. Only 41352 maintains the correct comparative relationships between all pairs of words.

Common Pitfalls:
A typical mistake is to group all words by their second letter and then forget to examine the third and later letters among those with the same first two letters. Students also sometimes assume that longer words automatically come after shorter ones, but length is only relevant if the shorter word is an exact prefix of the longer word. To avoid confusion, compare methodically letter by letter and write down intermediate groupings as we did with Ca, Co and Cr.

Final Answer:
The correct dictionary sequence corresponds to the code 41352, so option 41352 is the right answer.
