Filing

If the names Ryan Helms, Ron Helsley, Rebecca Helm, and Ray Helms were arranged for alphabetical filing, the position of the underlined name would be:

B. Second
C. Third

Answers

The correct answer is C.

First we must prepare the names for alphabetic filing (that is, the last name is considered before the first name)

Helms Ryan, Helsley Ron, Helm Rebecca, Helms Ray.

Then we arrange by alphabetic order

Helm Rebecca, Helms Ray, Helms Ryan, Helsley Ron.

Now we can see the names as they should be filed

Rebecca Helm, Ray Helms, Ryan Helms, Ron Helsley.
