Word Arrangement: Finding the Centre Letter
The question asks to identify the letter that appears in the middle position when the letters of the word $ACCELERATIONS$ are sorted alphabetically.
Steps to Find the Centre Letter
- List Letters: First, list all the letters in the word $ACCELERATIONS$: A, C, C, E, L, E, R, A, T, I, O, N, S.

- Alphabetical Order: Arrange these letters in alphabetical order: A, A, C, C, E, E, I, L, N, O, R, S, T.
- Determine Middle Position: For a list with an odd number of items (N), the middle position is calculated using the formula: $ \text{Middle Position} = \frac{N+1}{2} $. In this case, N = 13, so the middle position is $ \frac{13+1}{2} = \frac{14}{2} = 7 $.
