Solution :
Given:
1. Russia 2. Rusted 3. Rumble 4. Royal
Step 1:
Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
R
, move to the next letter.
Step 2:
The second letter of each word is –
u, u, u, o
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – R

u
ssia, R
u
sted, R
u
mble
Step 3:
Compare the third letter of (Ru
s
sia, Ru
s
ted, Ru
m
ble). Rumble will come before Russia and Rusted in the sequence as
m
comes before
s
in the alphabetical system.
Step 4:
Compare the fourth letter of (Rus
s
ia, Rus
t
ed). Russia will come before Rusted in the sequence as
s
comes before
