Correct option is D
To arrange the words in the order they would appear in an English dictionary, we compare the letters of each word from left to right.
The given words are:
1. Talisman
2. Tantamount
3. Tangential
4. Tantalizing
5. Taciturn
Let's arrange them:
· Taciturn (Starts with "Tac")
· Talisman (Starts with "Tal")
· Tangential (Starts with "Tang")
· Tantalizing (Starts with "Tant")
· Tantamount (Also starts with "Tant")
Comparing further: "Tantalizing" (Tanta...) comes before "Tantamount" (Tantamo...) in the dictionary.
So, the correct order is: Taciturn, Talisman, Tangential, Tantalizing, Tantamount.
Therefore, the correct answer is 5, 1, 3, 4, 2.
