Answer
The "$/ $" symbol is going to serve as a marker for the unsorted section.
$\bullet$ Initial list $[7,4,2,9,6 /]$
$\bullet$ Largest number is $9 ;$ exchange with $6 ;$ move marker: $[7,4,2,6 / 9]$
$\bullet$ Largest number is $7 ;$ exchange with $6 ;$ move marker: $[6, 4, 2 / 7, 9]$
$\bullet$ Largest number is $6 ;$ exchange with $2 ;$ move marker: $[2, 4 / 6, 7, 9]$
$\bullet$ Largest number is $4 ;$ move marker: $[2 / 4, 6, 7, 9]$
$\bullet$ Only one, so move marker: $[/ 2, 4, 6, 7, 9]$
