Question

put the words in alphabetical order.
knight kitten key kangaroo
submit

Explanation:

Alphabetical order follows the sequence of letters in the English alphabet. Compare each word letter by letter starting from the first character.

1. "kangaroo" starts with 'k-a', which comes before the other words' opening letter combinations.
2. "key" is next, as after 'k', its second letter 'e' comes before 'n' (from knight/kitten).
3. "knight" comes before "kitten" because after 'k-n', the third letter 'i' in "knight" precedes 't' in "kitten".

Answer:

kangaroo, key, knight, kitten
