Alphabetical Order Word Arrangement

The task is to arrange the given words in alphabetical order. We need to compare the words letter by letter.

Step-by-Step Ordering:

  1. Compare Initial Letters: All words begin with "FR".
  2. Compare Third Letter:
    • FRAGRANCE (1)
    • FRUITFUL (2)
    • FRUGAL (3)
    • FRIGHTEN (4)
    • FROSTY (5)
    The order based on the third letter is A, I, O, U, U. This places FRAGRANCE first, FRIGHTEN second, and FROSTY third.
  3. Compare Words Starting with "FRU": We need to order FRUITFUL (2) and FRUGAL (3).
    • Compare the fourth letter: FRUITFUL vs FRUGAL.
    • Since 'G' comes before 'I' in the alphabet, FRUGAL (3) comes before FRUITFUL (2).
  4. Final Order: Combining the steps, the alphabetical order is:
    1. FRAGRANCE
    2. FRIGHTEN
    3. FROSTY
    4. FRUGAL
    5. FRUITFUL
    The corresponding numerical sequence is 1, 4, 5, 3, 2.

Resulting Sequence

The correct sequence representing the alphabetical order of the words is 1, 4, 5, 3, 2.
