Question

put the words in alphabetical order.
prison
pin
playful
submit

Explanation:

Alphabetical order follows the sequence of letters in the English alphabet. Compare the words letter by letter:

1. "playful" starts with 'p-l', which comes before 'p-i' (from "pin") and 'p-r' (from "prison") because 'l' is earlier in the alphabet than 'i' and 'r'.
2. Next, "pin" starts with 'p-i', which comes before 'p-r' (from "prison") since 'i' is earlier than 'r'.
3. Finally, "prison" starts with 'p-r', which is the last in the sequence.

Answer:

playful, pin, prison
