Correct Answer: 3, 2, 1, 4, 5

Solution : Given:
1. Admire 2. Addition 3. Addict 4. Admission 5. Adult

Step 1: Compare the first two letters of each word. Since the first two letters of each word are the same A, d , move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The third letter of each word is m , d , d , m , u . Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Ad d ition, Ad d ict, Ad m ire, Ad m ission, Ad u lt.
Step 3: Compare the fifth letter of (Addi t ion, Addi c t) and (Admi r e, Admi s sion). Addict will come before Addition as c comes before t in the alphabetical series. Similarly, Admire will come before Admission as r comes before s .

So, the sequence is Addict, Addition, Admire, Admission, Adult, or 3, 2, 1, 4, 5. Hence the second option is correct.
