Solution :
Given:
1. Wrist 2. Wrangle 3. Workable 4. Wrongful 5. Woodland
Step 1:
Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
W
, then move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The second letter of each word is either
o
or
r
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – W
o
rkable, W
o
odland, W
r
ist, W
r
ongful, W
r
angle.
Step 3:
Compare the third letter of (Wo
r
kable, Wo
o
dland) and the third letter of (Wr
i
st, Wr
o
ngful, Wr
a
ngle). Wo
o
dland will come before the Wo
r
kable and in the sequence as
o
comes before
r
in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Wr
a
ngle will come before Wr
i
st and Wr
i
st comes before Wr
o
ngful as
a
comes before
i
and
i
comes before
o
.
So, the sequence is Woodland, Workable, Wrangle, Wrist, Wrongful or 5,3,2,1,4. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
