Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

To arrange the words in alphabetical order, let's compare them letter by letter:
* All words begin with 'Lis' or 'Lit'. Since 's' comes before 't', 4. Listen comes first.
* 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:
* Both match up to . The 7th letters are 'c' in Literacy and 't' in Literature. Since 'c' comes before 't', 1. Literacy comes third and 2. Literature comes fourth.

* Finally, 5. Lithograph comes last.

The correct dictionary order is: 4, 3, 1, 2, 5.
