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.
