Question

put the words in alphabetical order.
jungle, jealous, jaw, gallop

Explanation:

Alphabetical order follows the sequence of letters in the English alphabet. Compare the first letters of each word first; if they match, move to the next letter.

1. "gallop" starts with 'g', which is the earliest letter.
2. "jealous" starts with 'j', next after 'g'; its second letter 'e' comes before 'u' (from "jungle") and 'a' (from "jaw").
3. "jaw" starts with 'j', its second letter 'a' comes before 'u' (from "jungle").
4. "jungle" starts with 'j', with the second letter 'u' which is later than 'a' and 'e'.

Answer:

gallop, jealous, jaw, jungle
