Solution :
Given:
1. Assign 2. Associate 3. Assist 4. Assistant 5. Assignment
Step 1:
Compare the first, second, and third letters of each word. Since the first, second, and third letters of the words are the same
A, s,
and
s
, then move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The fourth letter of each word is either
i
,
or
o
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Ass
i
gn, Ass
i
st, Ass
i
stant, Ass
i
gnment, Ass
o
ciate.
Step 3:
Compare the fifth letter of (Assi
g
n, Assi
s
t, Assi
s
tant, Assi
g
nment). Assign and Assignment will come before Assist, and Assistant in the sequence as
g
comes before
s
in the alphabetical system.
Step 4:
Now compare (Assign, Assignment) and (Assist, Assistant). Assign will come before Assignment as the first six letters of Assign and Assignment are the same and Assign is a 6-letter word. Similarly, Assist will come before Assistant.
So, the sequence is Assign, Assignment, Assist, Assistant, Associate, or 1, 5, 3, 4, 2. Hence, the first option is correct.
