Solution :
Given:
1. Flinching 2. Flintlock 3. Flinpites 4. Flintlocks 5. Flinchers
Step 1:
Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
F
, move to the next letter.
Step 2:
The second, third, and fourth letters of each word are the same. So, let's compare the fifth letter. The fifth letter of each word is
–
c, t, p
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them
–
Flin
c
hing, Flin
c
hers, Flin
p
ites, Flin
t
lock, Flin
t
locks
Step 3:
Compare the seventh letter of (Flinch
i
ng, Flinch
e
rs). Flinchers will come before Flinching in the sequence as
e
comes before
i
in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Flintlock(9-letter word) comes before Flintlocks(10-letter word).
The sequence is Flinchers, Flinching, Flinpites, Flintlock, Flintlocks, or 5, 1, 3, 2, 4. Hence, the third option is correct.
