Step 1: Compare the first letter of all the words. Since all the words start with the same letter C , then move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The second, third, and fourth letters of all the words are the same, i.e., h , o , and c . So, move on to the next letter.
Step 3: Compare the fifth letter of Choc o late, Choc o holic, Choc o laty, Choc o latier, Choc k . Chock will come first as k comes before o according to the alphabetical system.
Step 4: Compare the sixth letter of (Choco l ate, Choco h olic, Choco l aty, Choco l atier). Chocoholic will come before Chocolate, Chocolaty, and Chocolatier as h comes before l according to the alphabetical system.
Step 5: The seventh, and eighth letters of (Chocol at e, Chocol at y, Chocol at ier) are the same, then move on to the next letter.

Similarly, Chocolatier will come before Chocolate as i comes before y according to the alphabetical system.
