Solution:

The boiling points of water, ethyl alcohol and diethyl ether are $100^{\circ} C , 78.5^{\circ} C$ and $34.6^{\circ} C$ respectively. Higher is the boiling point, higher is the strength of intermolecular forces.
The intermolecular forces will be in the order of Water > ethyl alcohol > diethyl ether.
