Solution :
Given:
1. Situation 2. Silver 3. Sitter 4. Simple 5. Signal
Step 1:
Compare the first, and second letter of each word. Since all the words have the same letter
S
and
i
, move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The third letter of each word is
g
,
l
,
t
,
or
m
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Si
g
nal, Si
l
ver, Si
m
ple, Si
t
ter, Si
t
uation.
Step 3:
Compare the fourth letter of (Sit
t
er, Sit
u
ation). Sit
u
ation will come before Sit
t
er in the sequence as
u
comes before
t
in the alphabetical system.
So, the sequence is Signal, Sitter, Situation, Silver, Simple, or 5, 3,1, 2, 4. Hence, the third option is correct.
