b.) 1, 4, 2, 3

Answer 1

All of these scrambled words are supposed to be used in a sentence to tell the time of day.

The sentence is trying to say "It's 4 o'clock in the afternoon."

Whenever we're telling time, we start with "Son las..."

and then we say a number. In this case, "cuatro."

And then we say the time of day,
whether it's morning (de la mañana)
afternoon (de la tarde)
or night (de la noche).

See? Just 3 easy steps.

So, to say, "it's 4 o'clock in the afternoon,"
we would say "Son las cuatro de la tarde."

There is only one exception to the very first step:

If we're ever telling the time, and the hour is 1, we say "es la"
instead of "son las."

For example, 1 o'clock in the afternoon would be....

"ES LA una de la tarde."
