Answers
In Step I the largest number occupies the leftmost position, pushing the rest of the line rightwards. In the next step the word that comes last in the alphabetical order occupies the second position from the left and the remaining terms move rightwards.
This goes on alternately till all the numbers get arranged in descending order and the words in reverse alphabetical order at alternate positions. In case a term is already arranged, the machine moves on to the next one.
