SSC CGL Model Paper 14

Concept:Dictionary order arranges words alphabetically by comparing letters from left to right.Explanation:All words start with $\mathrm{Clo}$.The fourth letter is $\mathrm{c}$ in Clocklipe and Clockwise, but $\mathrm{d}$ in the other three.Since $\mathrm{c}$ comes before $\mathrm{d}$, Clocklipe and Clockwise come first.Between Clocklipe and Clockwise, the next differing letter is $\mathrm{l}$ vs $\mathrm{w}$; $\mathrm{l}$ comes before $\mathrm{w}$.So the order begins $1,5$.Among Cloddier, Clodpates, and Clodpolls, after $\mathrm{Clod}$, the next letter is $\mathrm{d}$ in Cloddier and $\mathrm{p}$ in the other two.Since $\mathrm{d}$ comes before $\mathrm{p}$, Cloddier is next.Between Clodpates and Clodpolls, after $\mathrm{Clodp}$, the next letter is $\mathrm{a}$ vs $\mathrm{o}$; $\mathrm{a}$ comes before $\mathrm{o}$.So Clodpates comes before Clodpolls.Final order: $1 \to 5 \to 2 \to 3 \to 4$.Answer:Option A: $15234$.
