Correct Answer: 3, 2, 1, 5, 4
Solution :
Given:
1. Ambitions 2. Ambiguous 3. Ambiguity 4. Animation 5. Animal
Step 1:
Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
A
, move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The second letter of each word is either
m
or
n.
Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Ambitions, Ambiguous, Ambiguity, Animation, Animal.
Step 3:
Compare the fifth letter of (Ambi
t
ions, Ambi
g
uous, Ambi
g
uity) and the sixth letter of (Anima
t
ion, Anima
l
). Ambi
g
uous and Ambi
g
uity will come before Ambi
t
ions in the sequence as
g
comes before
t
in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Anima
l
will come before Anima
t
ion as
l
comes before
t.
Step 4:
Compare the seventh letter of (Ambigu
o
us, Ambigu
i
ty). Ambigu
i
ty will come before Ambigu
o
us in the sequence as
i
comes before
u
in the alphabetical system.
So, the sequence is Ambiguity, Ambiguous, Ambitions, Animal, Animation or 3, 2, 1, 5, 4. Hence, the third option is correct.
