Question: 1 / 400

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

11th Street Gym

Rayson Railroad Company

Ray's Diner

Evanston Auto Parts

To determine the proper order when alphabetizing these entries, we focus on the first significant word in each option. In this scenario, the entries are organized based on the initial letters of these significant words.

Starting with "11th Street Gym," while the number "11" comes first, it is conventionally considered as the digit '1' when alphabetizing. Therefore, any entry beginning with a letter will come later in the sequence.

Next, "Evanston Auto Parts" begins with the letter 'E,' which follows '1' in alphabetical order.

"Ray's Diner" starts with 'R,' placing it even further down the list.

Lastly, "Rayson Railroad Company" also begins with 'R,' but since 'Ray's Diner' comes before it due to the shorter length of the word 'Ray's' compared to 'Rayson,' it comes first among these two.

Therefore, the correct second entry when alphabetizing these options is "Evanston Auto Parts," as it is positioned logically after the initial numeric entry and before any words starting with letters 'R' in this context.
