Alphabetical Arrangement
The word is PICKLED. The letters are P, I, C, K, L, E, D. Sorting these alphabetically: C, D, E, I, K, L, P.
Identify Target Letters
The word has 7 letters. Second from the left is D. Fourth from the right is the 4th position (since 7-4+1 = 4), which is the 4th letter from the left: I.
Calculate Alphabetical Gap
The two letters identified are D and I. The letters between them in the English alphabet are E, F, G, and H. Counting these gives 4 letters.
A: Incorrect, as there are 4 letters between D and I, not 3; C: Incorrect, as the difference is not 2; D: Incorrect, as the difference is not 1.
B is correct because the second letter from the left is D and the fourth from the right is I, and there are 4 letters (E, F, G, H) between D and I in the alphabet.
When counting letters 'between' two given letters, always remember the formula: (Position of later letter - Position of earlier letter - 1).
