Question

put the words in alphabetical order.
kit escape easel kernel knot
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Identify first letters

The first letters of the words are: k (kit), e (escape), e (easel), k (kernel), k (knot).

Step2: Order by first letter

Words starting with 'e' come before those starting with 'k'. Among 'e' words: compare "escape" and "easel". The second letter of "easel" is 'a', of "escape" is 's'. So "easel" comes before "escape". Among 'k' words: compare "kit", "kernel", "knot". Second letter: 'e' (kernel), 'i' (kit), 'n' (knot). So order is kernel, kit, knot.

Step3: Combine ordered groups

Combine the 'e' group (easel, escape) and 'k' group (kernel, kit, knot) in order.

Answer:

easel, escape, kernel, kit, knot
