Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's arrange the words alphabetically step by step:
All words start with 'Ge'. Let's look at the third letter:

Geometric (m)

Gender (n)

Genuine (n)

Generous (n)

Gene (n)

Generator (n)

Since 'm' comes before 'n', Geometric (1) will be at the very end among these.

Now comparing the words starting with 'Gen':

Gender (d)

Genuine (u)

Generous (e)

Gene (e)

Generator (e)

'd' comes first, so Gender (2) is first.

Next, look at 'Gene...':

Generator (r)

Generous (r)

Gene (ends here)

So Gene (5) comes next.

Now compare 'Genera...' and 'Genero...':

Generator (6) comes before Generous (4).

Finally, Genuine (3) follows, and Geometric (1) is last.

The correct alphabetical sequence is: 2, 5, 6, 4, 3, 1.
