Answer 1

There are 10 students participating in the spelling bee.
The first student can be chosen from 10 students, and the second student can be chosen from the remaining 9 students.
So, there are 10*9 = 90 ways in which the students who go first and second in the bee can be chosen.

Therefore, the correct response is: 90 ways
