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


Solution : Given:
1. Forecast 2. Forget 3. Foreign 4. Forsook 5. Force

Step 1: Compare the first three letters of each word. Since the first three letters of each word are the same F , o , and r , move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The fourth letter of each word is e , g , e , s , and c . Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – For c e, For e cast, For e ign, For g et, For s ook.
Step 3: Compare the fifth letter of (Fore c ast, Fore i gn). Forecast will come before Foreign in the sequence as c comes before i in the alphabetical system.

So, the sequence is Force, Forecast, Foreign, Forget, Forsook, or 5, 1, 3, 2, 4. Hence, the second option is correct.
