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

Solution : Given:
1. Ale   2. Align   3. Amend   4. Anatomy   5. Alpine

Step 1: Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter A , move to the next letter.
Step 2: The second letter of each word is – l, l, m, n, l . Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – A l e, A l ign, A l pine, A m end, A n atomy.
Step 3: Compare the third letter of (Al e , Al i gn, and Al p ine). Al e will come before Al i gn and the Al p ine in the sequence as e comes before i and p in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Al i gn will come before Al p ine.

The sequence will be Ale, Align, Alpine, Amend, Anatomy, or 12534. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
