Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
To arrange the words in alphabetical order, let's compare them letter by letter:

* For the remaining words starting with 'Lit':
* 1. Literacy ()
* 2. Literature ()
* 3. Litany ()
* 5. Lithograph ()
* Comparing the fourth letters ('e', 'e', 'a', 'h'): 'a' comes first, so 3. Litany comes second.
* Next, 'e' comes before 'h', so we compare 1. Literacy and 2. Literature:
