Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Logic applied to the input: dance, apple, zebra, kite, fan, bottle
Step I: zebra, apple, dance, kite, fan, bottle
Explanation: The word "zebra" is the largest in descending alphabetical order; therefore, it is placed at the leftmost position.
Step II: zebra, apple, bottle, dance, kite, fan
Explanation: Next, among the remaining words, "apple" is already in the correct position; therefore, "bottle" (the smallest among the rest) is arranged into its correct place.
