Correct Answer: 2, 1, 4, 3
Solution :
Given:
1. Range 2. Rain 3. Rein 4. Ranger
Step 1:
Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
R
, then move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The second letter of each word is either
a
or
e
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – R
a
nge, R
a
in, R
a
nger, R
e
in
Step 3:
Compare the third letter of (Ra
n
ger, Ra
i
n, Ra
n
ger). Rain will come before Range and Ranger as
i
comes before
n
in alphabetical order.
Step 4:
The fourth and fifth letters of Range and Ranger are the same, i.e.,
g
and
e
, so, move on to the next letter.
Step 5:
Compare the sixth letter of Range and Range
r
. Range will come before Ranger as Range has no sixth letter.
So, the sequence is Rain, Range, Ranger, Rein, or 2, 1, 4, 3. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
