Correct Answer: 5, 3, 1, 2, 4
Solution :
Given:
1. Sinister 2. Sinuous 3. Sinhalese 4. Sinusitis 5. Sinecure
Step 1:
Compare the first, second, and third letter of each word. Since all the words have the same letter
S
,
i
, and
n
, then move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The fourth letter of each word is
e
,
h
,
i
or
u
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Sin
e
cure, Sin
h
alese, Sin
i
ster, Sin
u
ous, Sin
u
sitis.
Step 3:
Compare the fifth letter of (Sinu
o
us, Sinu
s
itis). Sinu
o
us will come before Sinu
s
itis in the sequence as
o
comes before
s
in the alphabetical system.
So, the sequence is Sinecure, Sinhalese, Sinister, Sinuous, Sinusitis, or 5, 3, 1, 2, 4. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
