Question: 1 / 400

When alphabetizing correctly, which of the following would be fourth?

East Bay Records

Garrett Van Buren, Ltd

To determine the correct position when alphabetizing the list, it’s essential to look at the first word of each phrase and then any subsequent words if the initial words are identical or lead to a tie.

In this case, the first words of the choices are:

- East

- Garrett

- Eastern

- Van-B-Mine

When arranged alphabetically, "East" comes before "Eastern," which in turn comes before "Garrett," while "Van-B-Mine" comes last since it starts with "V." Thus, the correct order based on the first word is:

1. East Bay Records

2. Eastern Construction

3. Garrett Van Buren, Ltd

4. Van-B-Mine Auto Rentals

Therefore, the sequence indicates that "Van-B-Mine Auto Rentals" would be in the fourth position. This means the correct answer to the question is the one representing "Van-B-Mine Auto Rentals," not the "Garrett Van Buren, Ltd" choice presented as the answer.
