Arrange the following words in the order that they would appear in a dictionary:1. Intuition  2. Institution  3. International  4. Improvement   5. Incompetent

To arrange the words in the order they would appear in a dictionary, we need to consider the alphabetical order based on the spelling of each word.

Here is the list of words to arrange:

1. Intuition
2. Institution
3. International
4. Improvement
5. Incompetent

Step 1: Compare Initial Letters

All words start with the letter "I," so we move to the second letter.

Step 2: Compare Second Letters

• "n" in Intuition and Incompetent
• "n" in Institution
• "n" in International
• "m" in Improvement

Since "m" comes after "n," we can place Improvement at the end.

Step 3: Compare Remaining Letters

Now we compare the first three words:

• Intuition (first unique letter is "t")
• Institution (first unique letter is "t")
• International (first unique letter is "n")

Between Intuition and Institution, "s" in Institution comes after "t," while the comparison with International shows "n" comes first.

Final Order

1. Incompetent
2. Institution
3. Intuition
4. International
5. Improvement

Final Answer

The order in which the words would appear in a dictionary is:

1. Incompetent
2. Institution
3. Intuition
4. International
5. Improvement
