Correct Answer: 2, 1, 4, 3


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.
