A) Write the ordinal numbers.

We are given ordinal number words and need to write them as numerals (e.g., "first" → "1st").

1) thirteenth → 13th
2) seventh → 7th
3) nineteenth → 19th
4) first → 1st

🔍 Explanation:

- Ordinal numbers indicate position or order (e.g., 1st, 2nd, 3rd).
- The suffixes change based on the number:
- Most numbers use -th (e.g., 4th, 10th, 13th).
- Exceptions:
- 1st (first), 2nd (second), 3rd (third)
- Numbers ending in 1 (except 11): use -st (e.g., 21st = twenty-first)
- Numbers ending in 2 (except 12): use -nd (e.g., 22nd = twenty-second)
- Numbers ending in 3 (except 13): use -rd (e.g., 23rd = twenty-third)
- All others use -th

This pattern helps us correctly write ordinals in both numeral and word form.
