Solution :
Given:
1. Nest 2. Neck 3. Neat 4. Near
Step 1:
Compare the first and second letters of each word. Since all the words have the same letter
N
and
e
, so move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The third letter of each word is
a, c
,
or
s
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Ne
a
t, Ne
a
r, Ne
c
k, Ne
s
t.
Step 3:
Compare the fourth letter of (Nea
t
, Nea
r
). Near will come before Neat as
r
comes before
t
in the alphabetical system.
So, the sequence is Near, Neat, Neck, Nest, or 4, 3, 2, 1. Hence, the third option is correct.
