To arrange words in alphabetical order, we look at the first letter of each word. If the first letters are the same, we look at the second letter, and so on. The order of the alphabet is: 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.
Let’s solve each part step by step:
