The number of new words that can be formed by rearranging the letters of the word 'ALIVE' is?
Answer: 119
Explanation
The number of new words that can be formed by rearranging the letters of the word "ALIVE" is:
5! (5 factorial) = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120
However, we need to subtract 1 because the original word "ALIVE" is also a possible arrangement.
So, the correct answer is:
120 - 1 = 119
