Correct Answer: 3, 4, 1, 2, 5


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.
