Arrange the “Gen-” words in dictionary order (A→Z). Words: (i) Genuine, (ii) Genesis, (iii) Gender, (iv) Gentle, (v) General.

Introduction / Context:
All five words begin with “gen…”. When prefixes are identical, compare the next differing character. Maintain this rule consistently across the set.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Words: Gender, General, Genesis, Gentle, Genuine.
• Compare case-insensitively and treat standard English lexicographic order.

Concept / Approach:
After “gen…”, the next letters are “d”, “e…”, “e…”, “t”, “u”. Ordering these yields d < e < t < u. Within the “e…” block, we still compare fully: “general” (…eral…) precedes “genesis” (…esis…) because “r” < “s”.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Complete order: (iii) Gender → (v) General → (ii) Genesis → (iv) Gentle → (i) Genuine.This matches dictionary sorting rules.

Verification / Alternative check:
Check neighbors: Gender<General (d<e), General<Genesis (r<s), Genesis<Gentle (s<t), Gentle<Genuine (t<u).

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They invert at least one pair in the chain (commonly General/Genesis or Gentle/Genuine).

Common Pitfalls:

• Sorting by meaning or frequency rather than strict lexicographic order.

Final Answer:
(iii), (v), (ii), (iv), (i).
