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

Solution : Given:
1. Tear 2. Tease 3. Taste 4. Treat 5. Tackle

Step 1: Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter T , then move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The second letter of each word is either a, e, or r . Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – T a ste, T a ckle, T e ar, T e ase, T r eat
Step 3: Compare the third letter of (Ta s te, Ta c kle) and the fourth letter of (Tea r , Tea s e). Ta c kle will come before Ta s te in the sequence as c comes before s in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Tea r will come before Tea s e as r comes before s .

So, the sequence is Tackle, Taste, Tear, Tease, Treat or 5, 3, 1, 2, 4. Hence, the third option is correct.
