FTFY:
5. the
6. the
The alphabet provided ends with X. However, you apparently remove duplicates so maybe just cross out the last row?
One important skill for school is to look at the entire question so that you can understand what the teacher is asking for, even if they don't format the question exactly right.
In this case, your answer would not fit into the 6 spaces provided for the answer.
So you have to ask yourself what they meant by "Write the following words". Since "the" is the same word repeated twice, once you've written "the" after 5, then I could argue that "the" has already been written.
Therefore, if there are only six blanks for the answer, looking at the entire question, I argue that the answer I provided is most likely correct.
You'll satisfy the teacher as often as possible and get good grades. I want to feel right as often as possible, which means I'll disrupt the class often and get called out during the parents-teachers meeting.
Still an error unfortunately. Should be:
We really should stick with the orginal German verision.
No one who alphabetizes in German could get a failing grade
First prize!
Now, a Goldener Irrgärtner question: where does ẞ go in the alphabet?
At the end after ä ö and ü

yes i see an alphabet in there. and it's in an order of some sort. sure!
Correct. It’s obviously supposed to be an ordered set, and that’s why there are 6 slots for 6 unique words.
