Finding the words in alphabetical order:

• We have to arrange the given words according to the alphabetical order. It is also called the order of dictionary.
• We should see the first letter of the words given. The words should be arranged in the order of alphabet.
• If the first letter of two or more words are same like 'define' and 'desire', we must see the second letter of both the words.
• If the second letter is same in both the words, the third letter should be taken into account.
• So in this way, the alphabetical order is:

       1) brief, flash, mother, special

       2) define, desire, down, dream
