I will solve this problem by arranging each set of words in alphabetical order based on their first two letters. I'll go through each set one by one.
First, look closely:
The image shows a worksheet titled "Alphabetical Order" with 8 sets of three words each. For each set, I need to arrange the words alphabetically based on the first two letters. The words are presented in small boxes, and there are empty boxes next to them for writing the sorted order.
I will now solve each set:
1.
umbrella, urn, uniform: The first two letters are 'um', 'ur', 'un'. Alphabetically, 'un' comes before 'um', which comes before 'ur'. So the order is: uniform, umbrella, urn.
2.
ring, rope, rake: The first two letters are 'ri', 'ro', 'ra'. Alphabetically, 'ra' comes before 'ri', which comes before 'ro'. So the order is: rake, ring, rope.
3.
crayon, cue, clown: The first two letters are 'cr', 'cu', 'cl'. Alphabetically, 'cl' comes before 'cr', which comes before 'cu'. So the order is: clown, crayon, cue.
4.
swan, sand, step: The first two letters are 'sw', 'sa', 'st'. Alphabetically, 'sa' comes before 'st', which comes before 'sw'. So the order is: sand, step, swan.
5.
panda, pineapple, penguin: The first two letters are 'pa', 'pi', 'pe'. Alphabetically, 'pa' comes before 'pe', which comes before 'pi'. So the order is: panda, penguin, pineapple.
6.
lemon, lamb, lizard: The first two letters are 'le', 'la', 'li'. Alphabetically, 'la' comes before 'le', which comes before 'li'. So the order is: lamb, lemon, lizard.
7.
orange, olive, ocean: The first two letters are 'or', 'ol', 'oc'. Alphabetically, 'oc' comes before 'ol', which comes before 'or'. So the order is: ocean, olive, orange.
8.
glory, golf, gate: The first two letters are 'gl', 'go', 'ga'. Alphabetically, 'ga' comes before 'gl', which comes before 'go'. So the order is: gate, glory, golf.
The solution is complete. Here are the final answers for each set:
- Set 1: uniform, umbrella, urn
- Set 2: rake, ring, rope
- Set 3: clown, crayon, cue
- Set 4: sand, step, swan
- Set 5: panda, penguin, pineapple
- Set 6: lamb, lemon, lizard
- Set 7: ocean, olive, orange
- Set 8: gate, glory, golf
