Answer 2

Given:

a. pneumonia, perfect, painter, people, patient

b. squirrel, sheep, swallow, seal, starfish​

What To Do:

Arrange the given words in alphabetical order.

How To Do:

Simply check the alphabets of the words and which alphabet is coming first.

Answer:

a. pneumonia, perfect, painter, people, patient

Since the first letter are same we will jump to second letter,

• pneumonia = n
• perfect = e
• painter = a
• people = e
• patient  = a

As we found out that a and e are coming two times we will jump to third letter and we can exclude the word pneumonia

• perfect = r
• painter = i
• people = o
• patient  = t

As all the letters are different we will now arrange them alphabetically,

• painter
• patient
• people
• perfect
• pneumonia

b. squirrel, sheep, swallow, seal, starfish​

Since the first letter are same we will jump to second letter,

• squirrel = q
• sheep = h
• swallow = w
• seal = e
• starfish​  = t

As all the letters are different we will arrange them alphabetically,

• seal
• sheep
• squirrel
• starfish
• swallow
