A word-and-number arrangement machine rearranges a given input following a specific rule in each step. The rule involves moving the alphabetically smallest word to the leftmost side and the numerically largest number to the rightmost side in each step. The process continues until all words are arranged in alphabetical order at the left end, and all numbers in descending order at the right end.
Based on the pattern, answer the questions that follow the given input.
Input: 100 Orbit 35 Dream 44 67 Space Apple
Question: What will be the arrangement in Step II? ​​

Input:

100 Orbit 35 Dream 44 67 Space Apple

Here are all the steps using the rule “smallest word to far left + largest number to far right” in each step.

Smallest word => Apple

Largest number => 100

After placing: Apple Orbit 35 Dream 44 67 Space 100

Remaining words: Orbit, Dream, Space → smallest => Dream

Remaining numbers: 35, 44, 67 → largest => 67

After placing: Apple Dream Orbit 35 44 Space 67 100 

Remaining words: Orbit, Space → smallest => Orbit

Remaining numbers: 35, 44 → largest => 44

After placing: Apple Dream Orbit 35 Space 44 67 100

Remaining word => Space

Remaining number => 35

After placing (final): Apple Dream Orbit Space 35 44 67 100
So, Apple Dream Orbit 35 44 Space 67 100

Thus, correct option is (b).
