Ordering DANGEROUS Letters Alphabetically
The word provided is DANGEROUS. First, we need to arrange its letters in alphabetical order.
- The letters are D, A, N, G, E, R, O, U, S.
- Arranged alphabetically, they become: A, D, E, G, N, O, R, S, U.
Finding Letters at Specific Positions
Next, identify the letters based on their positions in the new alphabetical sequence.

The question asks for the number of letters in the English alphabet that are alphabetically positioned *between* G and O.
