Correct Answer: 4, 3, 2, 1

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.
