Arrange the given list of physical activities in a lexicographic order. The activities are basketball, dance, and sports.

Sure, in a lexicographic order, the list of physical activities would be:

1. Basketball
2. Dance
3. Sports

This is because letters in English are sorted alphabetically. So, when you're comparing words with different numbers of letters, you start by comparing the letters that are in the same position. For example, in the words "basketball" and "dance", the letter "a" in both words should be compared first. Since "a" appears in "basketball" before "d" in alphabetical order, "basketball" comes before "dance" in this context. Similarly, since "d" appears before "s" in the alphabet, "dance" comes before "sports".

Sure, I'd be happy to help with that. When arranged in lexicographic (alphabetical) order, the list of physical activities you provided would be:

1. Basketball
2. Dance
3. Sports

This order is determined by the first letter of each word, and if the first letters are the same, then the second letters are considered, and so on.
