Answer 2

Put the following words in alphabetical order.

(i) quality, rapidly, wheel, computer

A) computer, quality, rapidly, wheel.

(ii) regular, received, refuse, rise

A) received, refuse, regular and rise.

The English alphabets in order are as follows:

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, z.

• To put the words in alphabetical order, we need to ensure that the first alphabet of the first word comes before the first alphabet of the next word.

• If the first alphabets of two or more words are the same, we need to check the second alphabet of these words and place these words as stated in the previous point.

• Likewise, the same steps are to be followed if the first three alphabets of the words are the same and so on.

• According to these steps we can put different words in alphabetical order.

(i) First, we see that the starting alphabets of the four words are different. So, these words can be put in the same order as the occurence of their first alphabet.

As, 'c' (in computer) comes before 'q' (quality), followed by 'r' (rapidly) and then 'w' (wheel). These words in their alphabetical order are:

computer, quality, rapidly, wheel.

(ii) First, we see that the starting alphabets of the four words are the same (r).

Next, we check the second alphabet of these words. We see that the second alphabet of three words is same (e) and the fourth word has 'i'.

As 'e' comes before 'i', so  the fourth word, rise, is to be placed at the end.

Next, we inspect the third alphabet of these three words.

As, 'c' (in received) comes before 'f' (refuse), followed by 'g' (regular). These words in their alphabetical order are:

received, refuse, regular and rise.
