Explanation:

Step1: Identify the first letter of each word

• rubbish: r
• union: u
• grind: g
• glass: g
• really: r

Step2: Compare words starting with 'g'

• glass and grind both start with 'g'. Compare the second letter: 'l' (glass) vs 'r' (grind). Since 'l' comes before 'r' in the alphabet, glass comes before grind.

Step3: Compare words starting with 'r'

• rubbish and really both start with 'r'. Compare the second letter: 'u' (rubbish) vs 'e' (really). Since 'e' comes before 'u' in the alphabet, really comes before rubbish.

• Words starting with 'g': glass, grind
• Words starting with 'r': really, rubbish
• Word starting with 'u': union

Step5: Combine all words in order
