Let's arrange the words step-by-step according to alphabetical order:
All words start with 'Ca'. Let's look at the third letter:

Calculate (l)

Calendar (l)

Comparing 'Calculate' and 'Calendar' (third and fourth letters: 'clc' vs 'cle'):

5. Calculate comes first.

2. Calendar comes second.

Next is 'm':

1. Campus comes third.

Now comparing 'Capital' and 'Capture' (fourth and fifth letters: 'capi' vs 'capt'):
