1.4 World of the Alphabet
b)Arrange the Words in Proper Alphabetical Order2) Words: Baby, Ball, Bell, Box
Children, let us arrange these words in alphabetical order, from A to Z.
Look at the four words:
Baby, Ball, Bell, Box
Step 1: Compare the First Letters
First, look at the first letter of each word.
• Baby → B
• Ball → B
• Bell → B
• Box → B
All four words begin with the same letter, B.
So, let us look at the second letters.
Step 2: Compare the Second Letters
• Baby → A
• Ball → A
• Bell → E
• Box → O
The second letters are:
A, A, E, O
From A to Z:
A → A → E → O
So, Bell comes before Box.
But Baby and Ball both have a as their second letter. So, we need to compare the third letters.
Step 3: Compare the Third Letters
• Baby → B, A, B
• Ball → B, A, L
Now compare B and L.
B comes before L in the alphabet.
Therefore:
Baby → Ball
Step 4: Write the Words in Correct Order
1. Baby
2. Ball
3. Bell
4. Box
Final Answer
Baby → Ball → Bell → Box
Children, always compare the letters one by one.
If the first letters are the same, compare the second letters.
If the second letters are the same, compare the third letters.
If the third letters are also the same, compare the fourth letters.
Keep comparing until you find a different letter.
So, the correct alphabetical order is:
Baby → Ball → Bell → Box
