Understanding Alphabetical Order
When arranging words in alphabetical order, the first step is to compare the first letters of each word. If they are the same, we move to the second letter, and so on.
Words Given:
- Pride
- Prick
- Prayer
- Prawn
Step-by-Step Comparison:
1. First Letters:
All words start with 'P', so we proceed to the second letter.
2. Second Letters:
- R in all words (Pride, Prick, Prayer, Prawn), continue to the third letter.
3. Third Letters:
- I in Pride
- I in Prick
- A in Prayer
- A in Prawn
4. Fourth Letters:
- D in Pride
- C in Prick
- Y in Prayer
- W in Prawn
Complete Order of Comparison:
- Pride comes first because "I" is alphabetically before "C" (Prick), "A" (Prayer), and "W" (Prawn).
- Prick comes second due to "C" being before "A" and "W."
- Prayer comes third since "A" is before "W."
- Prawn is last with "W."
Final Arrangement:
- 1st: Pride
- 2nd: Prick
- 3rd: Prayer
- 4th: Prawn
Thus, the correct answer is indeed option B (Prick), as it comes third in the alphabetical order when all words are arranged properly.
