Question

put the words in alphabetical order. yelp agree ago age

Explanation:

Step1: Recall alphabetical order

Alphabetical order is determined by the order of letters in the alphabet (a, b, c, ..., z). We compare the first letter of each word first. If the first letters are the same, we compare the second letter, and so on.

Step2: Compare first letters

• "age": starts with 'a'
• "ago": starts with 'a'
• "agree": starts with 'a'
• "yelp": starts with 'y'

Since 'a' comes before 'y' in the alphabet, "yelp" will be the last word. Now we focus on the words starting with 'a': "age", "ago", "agree".

Step3: Compare second letters (for words starting with 'a')

• "age": second letter is 'g'
• "ago": second letter is 'g'
• "agree": second letter is 'g'

Since the second letters are the same, we move to the third letter.

Step4: Compare third letters (for words starting with 'a' and second letter 'g')

• "age": third letter is 'e'
• "ago": third letter is 'o'
• "agree": third letter is 'r'

In the alphabet, 'e' comes before 'o' which comes before 'r'. So the order of the words starting with 'a' is "age", "ago", "agree". Then we add "yelp" at the end.

Answer:

age, ago, agree, yelp
