Correct Answer: 1, 4, 3, 2
Solution :
Given:
1. Manifest 2. Meticulous 3. Meridian 4. Merchant
Step 1:
Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
M
, then move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The second letter of each word is either
a
or
e
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – M
a
nifest, M
e
ticulous, M
e
ridian, M
e
rchant.
Step 3:
Compare the third letter of (Me
t
iculous, Me
r
idian, Me
r
chant). (Meridian, Merchant) will come before Meticulous in the sequence, as
r
comes before
t
in the alphabetical system.
Step 4:
Compare the fourth letter of (Mer
i
dian, Mer
c
hant). Merchant will come before Meridian in the sequence as
c
comes before
i
in the alphabetical system.
So, the sequence is Manifest, Merchant, Meridian, Meticulous, or 1, 4, 3, 2. Hence, the first option is correct.
