• B. None
• C. One

Answer 1

Answer:

B. None

Word: SCRAMBLE

First, write the letters with their original positions:

Position	Letter
1	S
2	C
3	R
4	A
5	M
6	B
7	L
8	E

Now arrange the letters in alphabetical order:

A B C E L M R S

Place them back in order with positions:

New Position	Letter
1	A
2	B
3	C
4	E
5	L
6	M
7	R
8	S

Now compare original vs new positions

• Position 1: S → A ❌

• Position 2: C → B ❌

• Position 3: R → C ❌

• Position 4: A → E ❌

• Position 5: M → L ❌

• Position 6: B → M ❌

• Position 7: L → R ❌

• Position 8: E → S ❌

No letter remains in the same position.
