Solution :
Given:
1. Modicum 2. Modal 3. Mode 4. Modifier
Step 1:
Compare the first, second, and third letters of each word. Since all the words have the same starting letters
M
,
o
, and
d
then move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The fourth letter of each word is
i
,
a
,
or
e
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Mod
a
l, Mod
e
, Mod
i
cum, Mod
i
fier.
Step 3:
Compare the fifth letter of (Modi
c
um, Modi
f
ier). Modi
c
um will come before Modif
i
er in the sequence as
c
comes before
i
in the alphabetical system.
So, the sequence is Modal, Mode, Modicum, Modifier, or 2, 3, 1, 4. Hence, the first option is correct.
