C) wine 
D) 58
E) 15
Solution:

After careful analysis of the given input and various steps of rearrangement, it is evident that in the first step the highest number is placed at the extreme left position and in the second step, the word which comes first in the alphabetical order is placed at the extreme right position. In the next step the second highest number is placed at the second position from the left. After that step, the word which comes second in the alphabetical order is placed at the extreme right position. These two steps are continued alternately till all the numbers get arranged in the descending order from the left and all the words get arranged in alphabetical order after the numbers.
