Question

put the words in alphabetical order.
flax assemble anybody appear fertile
submit

Explanation:

To put words in alphabetical order, we compare their first letters, then subsequent letters if the first letters are the same.

1. The first letters of the words: 'a' (for assemble, anybody, appear), 'f' (for flax, fertile). Among the 'a' words, compare the second letters: 's' (assemble), 'n' (anybody), 'p' (appear). So order of 'a' words: assemble, anybody, appear. Then 'f' words: flax, fertile (since 'l' comes before 'r' in the second letter).

Answer:

assemble, anybody, appear, flax, fertile
