Question

put the words in alphabetical order.
deliver delight journey journal delicious
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Recall alphabetical order rules

We compare the words letter by letter. First, look at the first letter: 'd' comes before 'j', so all words starting with 'd' come before those starting with 'j'.

Step2: Order words starting with 'd'

For words starting with 'd': "delicious", "delight", "deliver". We compare the second letter: all have 'e' as the second letter. Then the third letter: 'l' (delicious: d-e-l...), 'l' (delight: d-e-l...), 'l' (deliver: d-e-l...). Then the fourth letter: 'i' (delicious: d-e-l-i...), 'i' (delight: d-e-l-i...), 'i' (deliver: d-e-l-i...). Then the fifth letter: 'c' (delicious: d-e-l-i-c...), 'g' (delight: d-e-l-i-g...), 'v' (deliver: d-e-l-i-v...). So "delicious" comes first, then "delight", then "deliver".

Step3: Order words starting with 'j'

For words starting with 'j': "journal", "journey". Compare the third letter: 'u' (journal: j-o-u...), 'u' (journey: j-o-u...). Then the fourth letter: 'r' (journal: j-o-u-r...), 'r' (journey: j-o-u-r...). Then the fifth letter: 'n' (journal: j-o-u-r-n...), 'n' (journey: j-o-u-r-n...). Then the sixth letter: 'a' (journal: j-o-u-r-n-a...), 'e' (journey: j-o-u-r-n-e...). So "journal" comes before "journey".

Step4: Combine all ordered words

Putting it all together, the order is delicious, delight, deliver, journal, journey.

Answer:

delicious, delight, deliver, journal, journey
