Solution :
Given:
1. Eyelid 2. Eyeless 3. Eyesore 4. Eyesight
Step 1:
Since all the words start with the same letter
E
, so move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The second and third letters of each word are the same, i.e.,
y
, and
e
. So, move on to the next letter.
Step 3:
The fourth letter of each word is either
l
or
s
. The arrangement can be – (Eyelid, Eyeless), (Eyesore, Eyesight).
Step 4:
Compare the fifth letter of (Eyel
i
d, Eyel
e
ss), and (Eyes
o
re, Eyes
i
ght). Eyeless will come before Eyelid as
e
comes before
i
according to the alphabetical system. Similarly, Eyesight will come before Eyesore as
i
comes before
o
according to the alphabetical system.
So, the sequence is Eyeless, Eyelid, Eyesight, Eyesore, or 2, 1, 4, 3. Hence, the first option is correct.
