Write the word, then write the alphabetized version directly below it. Compare the positions vertically to find matches.
Write original word
Original word: D(1), R(2), A(3), W(4), I(5), N(6), G(7)
Arrange in alphabetical order
Alphabetical order of letters {D, R, A, W, I, N, G} is {A, D, G, I, N, R, W}
Compare positions
Compare (D,R,A,W,I,N,G) with (A,D,G,I,N,R,W). No letter matches its position index: D!=A, R!=D, A!=G, W!=I, I!=N, N!=R, G!=W. Therefore, 0 letters remain unchanged.
B: Incorrect, no letters match. C: Incorrect, the count is zero. D: Incorrect, the calculation confirms zero matches.
A is correct because when you arrange the letters of DRAWING alphabetically as ADGINRW, none of the letters align with their original positions in DRAWING.
For 'unchanged position' questions, always write the two sequences vertically to avoid mental indexing errors.
