Alphabetical Order Analysis

To arrange the given words in alphabetical order, we compare them letter by letter from left to right.

The four words are: Sport, Squash, Sporadic, Sprout.

Step 1: Compare the first three letters

• All four words start with "Sp".
• Three words start with "Spo": Sport, Sporadic, Sprout.
• One word starts with "Squ": Squash.
• Since 'o' comes before 'q' in the alphabet, the three "Spo" words will come before "Squash". This means Squash is the last word in the list.

Step 2: Order the "Spo" words

Now we need to order the remaining three words: Sport, Sporadic, Sprout.

• All three start with "Spor". We must compare the fifth letter of each word.
• Sporadic
• Sport
• Sprout
• The alphabetical order of these fifth letters is 'a', then 't', then 'u'.
• Therefore, the correct order for these three words is: Sporadic, Sport, Sprout.

Step 3: Combine the results

By combining the results from the previous steps, we get the final alphabetical order.

Sporadic, Sport, Sprout, Squash

Conclusion

The correct alphabetical order is the one listed in option B.
