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


Solution : Given:
1. Globe  2. Group  3. Glitch  4. Gap  5. Glade

Step 1: Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter G , move to the next letter.
Step 2: The second letter of each word is: l, r, a . Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – G a p, G l obe, G l itch, G l ade, G r oup.
Step 3: Compare the third letter of (Gl o be, Gl i tch, Gl a de). Glade will come before (Globe, Glitch), and Glitch will come before Globe in the sequence as a comes before o , i , and i comes before o in the alphabetical system.

The sequence is Gap, Glade, Glitch, Globe, Group, or 4, 5, 3, 1, 2. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
