Correct Answer: 4, 3, 5, 2, 1

Solution : Given:
1. Sound 2. Socks 3. Shock 4. Sharp 5. Snooker

Step 1: Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter S , so, move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The second letter of each word is h , n , or o . Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – S h ock, S h arp, S n ooker, S o und, S o cks.
Step 3: Compare the third letter of (Sho c k, Sha r p). Shock will come before Sharp in the sequence as c comes before r in the alphabetical system.
Step 4: Compare the third letter of (So u nd, So c ks). Socks will come before Sound in the sequence as c comes before u in the alphabetical system.

So, the sequence is Sharp, Shock, Snooker, Socks, Sound, or 4, 3, 5, 2, 1. Hence, the second option is correct.
