Directions: A word and number arrangement machine when given an input ...
To determine the various steps and final output, let's follow the pattern in the given example.
### Given Input
Input: Strong 64 relations 25 depends 38 on 53 base 45
### Step-by-Step Rearrangement
**Step I:**
- The first word alphabetically: base
- Move "base" to the front and keep the order of other words and numbers unchanged.
- Output: base Strong 64 relations 25 depends 38 on 53 45
**Step II:**
- The second word alphabetically: depends
- Move "depends" to the second position.
- Output: base depends Strong 64 relations 25 38 on 53 45
**Step III:**
- The third word alphabetically: on
- Move "on" to the third position.
- Output: base depends on Strong 64 relations 25 38 53 45
**Step IV:**
- The fourth word alphabetically: relations
- Move "relations" to the fourth position.
- Output: base depends on relations Strong 64 25 38 53 45
**Step V:**
- The fifth word alphabetically: Strong
- Move "Strong" to the fifth position.
- Output: base depends on relations Strong 64 25 38 53 45
**Step VI:**
- Arrange the numbers in increasing order.
- Output: base depends on relations Strong 25 38 45 53 64
### Final Output after rearrangement:
Step VI: base depends on relations Strong 25 38 45 53 64
**Finding the required element:**
Third to the left of the fourth element from the right end in step III.
In step III:
base depends on Strong 64 relations 25 38 53 45
1. Fourth element from the right end: 25
2. Third to the left of 25: depends
So the correct answer is:
2. depends
