Select the correct option that indicates the arrangement of the given words in…

Dictionary (lexicographic) order compares two words letter by letter from the left. At the first position where the letters differ, the word with the earlier alphabet letter at that position is placed first; if one word is a prefix of another, the shorter word comes first. Apply this rule pairwise to place every word.

1. All six words begin with 'T', so compare the second letter: Tamarind and Tame have 'a' there, while Terminal, Terminology, Temperature and Tertiary have 'e'. Every word beginning 'Ta-' is placed before every word beginning 'Te-'.

2. Within the 'Ta-' pair, both share 'Tam-'; the next letter is 'a' in Tamarind and 'e' in Tame, so Tamarind is placed before Tame.

3. Within the 'Te-' group, compare the third letter: Temperature has 'm' there while Terminal, Terminology and Tertiary have 'r'. Since 'm' precedes 'r', Temperature is placed before the remaining three.

4. Among the remaining 'Ter-' words, compare the fourth letter: Terminal and Terminology have 'm', while Tertiary has 't'. Since 'm' precedes 't', Tertiary is placed after Terminal and Terminology.

5. Terminal and Terminology share 'Termin-'; the next letter is 'a' in Terminal and 'o' in Terminology. Since 'a' precedes 'o', Terminal is placed before Terminology.

Checking every adjacent pair in the resulting sequence confirms each is ordered by the first letter at which the two words differ, with no shorter word misplaced after a longer word that extends it.

This gives the sequence Tamarind, Tame, Temperature, Terminal, Terminology, Tertiary — that is, (iv), (v), (iii), (i), (ii), (vi).
