Correct Answer: 3, 5, 2, 1, 4

Solution : Given:
1. General   2. Gender   3. Gasket   4. Genial   5. Gather

Step 1: The first letter of each word is the same, so 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: G a sket, G a ther, G e neral, G e nder, G e nial.
Step 3: Compare the third letter of (Ga s ket, Ga t her), and the fourth letter of (Gen e ral, Gen d er, Gen i al). Gasket will come before Gather in the sequence as s comes before t in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Gender will come before General, and Genial as d comes before e , and I . Also, General will come before Genial as e comes before i .

So, the sequence is Gasket, Gather, Gender, General, Genial, or 3, 5, 2, 1, 4. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
