Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's arrange the words step-by-step according to alphabetical dictionary order:
All words start with "Gene". Let's look at the 5th letter:
Generic (r)
Generous (r)
Genesis (s)
Genius (t)
Genuine (u)
Comparing 3 (Generic) and 4 (Generous):
'Generic' has 'i' as the 6th letter, while 'Generous' has 'o'. Since 'i' comes before 'o', 3 comes before 4.
Comparing the remaining letters for order:
'r' comes first, followed by 's', then 't', then 'u'.
Thus, the correct sequence is:
Generic → 4. Generous → 5. Genesis → 1. Genius → 2. Genuine
The final order is 3,4,5,1,2.
