Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's arrange the given words alphabetically step-by-step:
All words begin with "Ne". Let's look at the third letter:

Neural

Newspaper

Neglect

Newfound

Neutron

Nephew

'g' comes first ⟹ Neglect (3)

'p' comes next ⟹ Nephew (6)

Now we compare the words starting with "Neu" (1 and 5):

Neural

Neutron

'r' comes before 't' ⟹ Neural (1) comes before Neutron (5).

Now we compare the words starting with "New" (4 and 2):
4. Newfound
2. Newspaper

'f' comes before 's' ⟹ Newfound (4) comes before Newspaper (2).

Putting it all together, the exact dictionary order is: 3, 6, 1, 5, 4, 2.
