Let's solve the problem step by step using the glossary provided in the image.

Step 1: Understand the glossary terms

Here are the definitions from the glossary:

- flower – a part of a plant where new seeds grow
- leaf – a part of a plant that grows on the stem
- root – the part of a plant in the soil
- seed – can grow into a new plant
- seedling – a young plant
- soil – the earth that plants grow in
- stem – the main part of a plant
- sun – the thing plants need to grow

Step 2: Answer the questions

#### Question 1: A young plant is called a _________.

From the glossary:
> seedling – a young plant

✔ So, the answer is: seedling

---

#### Question 2: What part of a plant is in the soil?

From the glossary:
> root – the part of a plant in the soil

✔ So, the answer is: root

---

#### Question 3: What can grow into a new plant?

From the glossary:
> seed – can grow into a new plant

✔ So, the answer is: seed

Step 3: Write the words in alphabetical order

We are given these words to sort alphabetically:

- dust
- root
- book index
- story book
- sun
- alphabetical
- atlas

Let’s list them and sort alphabetically:

1. alphabetical
2. atlas
3. book index
4. dust
5. root
6. story book
7. sun

Now, write them in the boxes in alphabetical order:

| dust | book index | story book |
|------|------------|------------|
| root | sun | |

Wait — the table has three rows and three columns. Let's check the layout:

It says:

```
dust book index story book
source alphabetical atlas
```

But it seems like the user wants us to reorder these words in alphabetical order, and mark the correct things below the line (probably to fill in the blanks).

Let’s list all seven words again:

1. dust
2. book index
3. story book
4. root
5. sun
6. alphabetical
7. atlas

Now sort them alphabetically:

1. alphabetical
2. atlas
3. book index
4. dust
5. root
6. story book
7. sun

So, the correct alphabetical order is:

- alphabetical
- atlas
- book index
- dust
- root
- story book
- sun

Now, since the original table shows:

```
dust book index story book
source alphabetical atlas
```

And it says “Mark the other things below that have been put in alphabetical order.”

Wait — this might be a typo or mislabeling. The word source doesn't appear in the glossary or the list. Possibly, "source" is meant to be another term, but it's not defined.

But looking back: the instruction says:

> Write the words in alphabetical order. Mark the other things below that have been put in alphabetical order.

So likely, the words to sort are:

- dust
- book index
- story book
- root
- sun
- alphabetical
- atlas

And we need to place them in order.

The final answer for this section should be:

alphabetical, atlas, book index, dust, root, story book, sun

But since there are only three boxes per row, perhaps it's asking to identify which of the listed items are already in alphabetical order.

Looking at the original:

```
dust book index story book
source alphabetical atlas
```

Let’s see if any row is in alphabetical order:

- First row: dust, book index, story book → Not alphabetical
(book index comes before dust)

- Second row: source, alphabetical, atlas → Not alphabetical
(alphabetical comes before atlas, and both come before source)

So none are in order.

But the instruction says: “Mark the other things below that have been put in alphabetical order.”

Possibly, the intention is to write the words in alphabetical order in the boxes.

Since there are 7 words and only 6 boxes (2 rows × 3 columns), maybe it's a formatting issue.

Alternatively, perhaps the task is to identify which of the listed items are already in alphabetical order.

But none are.

Wait — perhaps "source" is a typo for "sun"? Or maybe it's not relevant.

Given the confusion, let’s assume the task is simply to list the words in alphabetical order.

So the correct alphabetical order is:

1. alphabetical
2. atlas
3. book index
4. dust
5. root
6. story book
7. sun

If you're to fill in the boxes, you'd write:

- Row 1: alphabetical, atlas, book index
- Row 2: dust, root, story book
- Then sun would be extra

But since there are only 6 boxes, maybe the word "source" is a mistake.

Alternatively, perhaps the exercise is to mark the ones that are in alphabetical order, but since none are, that might not work.

Wait — perhaps the instruction means: “Write the words in alphabetical order. Then mark the ones that are correctly ordered in the table.”

But the table has "source", which isn’t in the list.

Given the ambiguity, the best interpretation is:

> Use the glossary to answer the first three questions, then sort the following words alphabetically:
> dust, book index, story book, root, sun, alphabetical, atlas

So the correct alphabetical order is:

alphabetical, atlas, book index, dust, root, story book, sun
