A word arrangement machine, when given a particular input, rearranges it following a particular rule. The following is the illustration of the input and the steps of arrangement:
Input: Pull the cover and then push into
Step I: Pull the then and cover push into
Step II: then the pull into push cover and
Step III: into pull the then and cover push
Step IV: into pull and then the cover push
and so on.
As per the rule followed in the above steps, find out

Step I to Step II: The group of first three words gets reversed and so does the group of last four.
Step II to Step III: The group of first four words gets reversed and so does the group of last three.
Step III to Step IV: Same as input to step I.
For convenience, if we assign nos. to each word of the input as pull-1, the-2, cover-3, and-4, then-5, push-6 and into-7, then we get,
Step VI: deep gutter ball into the has fallen Input: Ball has fallen into the deep gutter
