Ranking exercises require you to place objects in a particular order. Rankings are almost always ordered from left to right. Read the answer instructions each time for specific directions. To rank an object, drag it to the ranking bin. To place an object beween two objects already in the bin, drag the object to the bin until you see a vertical bar (may appear as pale yellow/orange) between the two objects you want to put the new object between. To rank two or more equivalent objects, drag one object into the ranking bin and place the equivalent object over it. These objects will then align, and a vertical bar will appear behind them to indicate the equivalence. Sometimes, it is impossible to rank the objects based on the information given. In such a case, click on the box labeled "The correct ranking cannot be determined" below the ranking window. To start over, click Reset. Before you submit your answers, you can rearrange the objects by dragging them to new locations within the ranking bin. When you are satisfied with your answers, click Submit.
