Solution :
Given:
1. Embody 2. Embrace 3. Embitter 4. Emblem 5. Embroidery
Step 1:
Compare the first, second, and third letters of each word. Since the first, second, and third letters of the words are the same
E, m
, and
b
, so move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The fourth letter of each word is
i
,
l
,
o
, or
r
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Emb
i
tter, Emb
l
em, Emb
o
dy, Emb
r
oidery, Emb
r
ace.
Step 3
: Compare the fifth letter of (Embr
o
idery, Embr
a
ce). Embr
a
ce will come before Embr
o
idery in the sequence as
a
comes before
o
in the alphabetical system.
So, the sequence is Embitter, Emblem, Embody, Embrace, Embroidery, or 3, 4, 1, 2, 5. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
