Linux Terminal: how to view files with extension using ls command?

How can I use the ls command to print all of those files with a .doc extension inside the "tmp" directory? (No find neither grep). Perhaps with -X ? How would it be if we used -X?

If you're adamant on not using grep or find, as outlined here:

You can do something like this:

ls *.{mp3,exe,mp4}

What this looks like for .doc files in the tmp directory is this:

ls /tmp/*.doc

You could do something like: ls *.doc in the directory.
