Solution :-

we know that, all 26 alphabets are ,A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z .

As we can see that, all words are starting with letter A .

so, checking next letter in of each words we get,

• Able comes at first . { As its second alphabet is B .}
• Accident = Second in order . { checking third alphabet and fourth alphabets order .}
• Actor = Third in order.
• Add = Last in order.

therefore,

→ Correct alphabetical order :- Able => Accident => Actor => Add .

Given:

add, accident, able, actor

To find:

Arrange the given words in alphabetical order

Solution:

The words are said to be in alphabetical order in which names, words are arranged as the letters of the alphabet(A to Z)

add, accident, able, actor

The first letter is 'A' for all given words. so, check the second letter B.

1. able

add, accident, actor

Two words have the second alphabet as 'C'. So, check the third alphabet. 'T' is the third alphabet in "actor" whereas 'C' is the third alphabet in "accident"

2. accident

3. actor

The alphabet 'D' is the second letter in the word "add" so it will be the 4th word.
