Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's compare the words letter-by-letter to arrange them in alphabetical order:
All words start with "Epi-". Let's look at the 4th letter:
* (i) Epitaxy
* (ii) Episode
* (iii) Epigene
* (iv) Epitome
* (v) Epilogue
Comparing the 4th letters ('g', 'l', 's', 't'):
1. First comes g: (iii) Epigene
2. Next comes l: (v) Epilogue
3. Next comes s: (ii) Episode
4. Next comes t: We compare (i) Epitaxy and (iv) Epitome.
* Looking at the 5th letter: 'a' in Epitaxy vs 'o' in Epitome.
* 'a' comes before 'o', so (i) Epitaxy comes before (iv) Epitome.
The final dictionary sequence is: (iii), (v), (ii), (i), (iv).
