Solution:
To solve this problem, we need to sort the words alphabetically. Here's how we can do it step by step:
1.
Identify the first letter of each word:
- bus → B
- helicopter → H
- scooter → S
- bicycle → B
- train → T
- airplane → A
- car → C
- truck → T
- motorcycle → M
- ship → S
2.
Sort the words based on their first letters:
- Words starting with
A: airplane
- Words starting with
B: bus, bicycle
- Words starting with
C: car
- Words starting with
H: helicopter
- Words starting with
M: motorcycle
- Words starting with
S: scooter, ship
- Words starting with
T: train, truck
3.
Handle ties (same first letter):
- For words starting with the same letter, compare the second letter, and so on.
- Example: "bus" and "bicycle" both start with "B". Compare the second letters: "u" vs. "i". Since "i" comes before "u", "bicycle" comes before "bus".
4.
Final Alphabetical Order:
- airplane
- bicycle
- bus
- car
- helicopter
- motorcycle
- scooter
- ship
- train
- truck
