Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's arrange the words in alphabetical order according to English dictionary rules:
All words start with 'G'.
Looking at the second letters:
'e' in 3. Geosciences, 6. Geographical
'r' in 1. Graduate, 4. Gradient
'y' in 2. Gypsum, 5. Gymnasium
Comparing words starting with 'Ge':
Geographical comes before 3. Geosciences (since 'o' comes before 'o' but 'g' comes before 's' → Geographical vs Geosciences) → 6, 3
Comparing words starting with 'Gr':
Gradient comes before 1. Graduate (since 'a' is same, then 'd' comes before 'd' but 'i' comes before 'u' → Gradient vs Graduate) → 4, 1
Comparing words starting with 'Gy':
Gymnasium comes before 2. Gypsum (since 'm' comes before 'p') → 5, 2
Combining them all together: 6, 3, 4, 1, 5, 2.
