Question

put the words in alphabetical order. week weed keen wee weep

Explanation:

We compare the first - letter of each word. If the first - letters are the same, we compare the second - letter, and so on. 'keen' starts with 'k' and comes first among these words as 'k' is before 'w' in the alphabet. Among 'wee', 'weed', 'week', 'weep', since they all start with 'w', we compare the second letter. 'wee' has 'e' as the second letter, 'weed' has 'e' but the third letter 'd' comes before the third letters of the other 'w' words. Then 'week' and 'weep' are compared by their third letters, with 'e' in 'week' coming before 'e' in 'weep' in the alphabetical order.

Answer:

keen, wee, weed, week, weep
