Direction (1-5) after carefully study the given input and various steps of arrangement , we may conclude that in
the first step the smallest number is placed at first place keeping rest of the terms as they are. In the
second step one word which comes first in dictionary is placed at the first position from the left and other
term are kept as they are and the same process is continued till the arrangement ends.
