An input-output arrangement machine rearranges a line of words and numbers one step at a time, always by the same rule. The rule is not stated, but it can be read off the run below.
Input: tonga 36 rickshaw 58 bullock 27.
Step 1: 36 tonga rickshaw 58 bullock 27.
Step 2: 36 58 tonga rickshaw bullock 27.
Working by the same rule, which of the following is Step 2 for the input line: pudding 47 cheese 19 beans 83?

In the run shown, the numbers are being gathered at the left end one per step, in the order in which they stand in the input, and the rest of the line closes up behind them. Applying that to pudding 47 cheese 19 beans 83: Step 1 brings 47 to the front — 47 pudding cheese 19 beans 83. Step 2 brings 19 to the place just after 47 — 47 19 pudding cheese beans 83, the answer.
