Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The first 12 even numbers are: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24.

2. Letters of the word **SACRED** arranged alphabetically are: A, C, D, E, R, S.

3. These letters are placed against multiples of 4 (4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24) from top to bottom:
   - 4 → A
   - 8 → C
   - 12 → D
   - 16 → E
   - 20 → R
   - 24 → S

4. *I* is placed against number 6 as given.

   - 6 → I
   - 12 → D
   - 14 → T
   - 20 → R

10. The word formed is **DIRT**.
