Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's arrange the words alphabetically by comparing their letters step-by-step:
All words start with "Cata-". Let's check the 5
th
letter onwards:
i. Catadrome
ii. Catagenesis
iii. Catabolic
iv. Catabolism
Comparing the 5
th
letters: 'b' comes before 'd' and 'g'. So, words starting with "Catab-" come first.
Between iii (Catabolic) and iv (Catabolism): up to the 8
th
letter "Catabol" they are identical. The 9
th
letter is 'i' in Catabolic and 'i' in Catabolism. The 10
th
letter is 'c' in Catabolic and 's' in Catabolism. Since 'c' comes before 's', iii precedes iv.
Sequence: iii, iv
Next, we compare i (Catadrome) and ii (Catagenesis) by their 5
th
letters: 'd' comes before 'g', so i precedes ii.
Final Sequence: iii, iv, i, ii
Therefore, the correct arrangement is iii, iv, i, ii.
