(d) 14
(e) highest

Solution (11-15):
Let us understand the logic behind it- In each step the words and numbers are arranged simultaneously, in each step the numbers are arranged from left end and the words are arranged from right end.
For words- One word will be arranged in one step. The word which has least number of total letters is arranged first from right end. The words are arranged from right to left end.
If any two words have same number of letters, then they are arranged according to the alphabetical series (according to 1st letter).
For numbers- The numbers are arranged in decreasing order from left to right end.
