Correct Answer

Explanation

The machine rearranges words and numbers in alternate steps starting with words. The words are arranged in reverse alphabetical order while numbers are arranged in descending order. After that, the square roots of the numbers retain the same position. Then, the sums of digits of the numbers are written in the next step. Now, in the final step all the numbers are arranged in descending order after all the words.

Input: captain 6561 court familiar 7921 8464 lose happen 2304 4624 violence

Step I: violence captain 6561 court familiar 7921 8464 lose happen 2304 4624
