When we are putting words in alphabetical order, we look at the first letter of each word. If all of the first letters are different, we pick which ever word had the first letter that comes first in the alphabet. In this case, all of our words start with a different letter.
Let's take a look at our alphabet and find the letters that start each of our words.
A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z
As you can see, F comes first, which means fly is the correct answer.
