Correct Answer: 3, 1, 4, 2


Solution : Given:
1. Garbage 2. Garrulous 3. Gabber 4. Garble

Step 1: Compare the first and the second letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter G and are followed by a , move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The third letter of each word is either b or r . Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Ga b ber, Ga r bage, Ga r rulous, Ga r ble
Step 3: Compare the fourth letter of (Gar b age, Gar r ulous, Gar b le). Garbage, Garble will come before Garrulous in the sequence as b comes before r in the alphabetical system.
Step 4: Compare the fifth letter of (Garb a ge, Garb l e). Garb a ge will come before Garb l e in the sequence as a comes before e in the alphabetical system.

So, the sequence is Gabber, Garbage, Garble, Garrulous, or 3, 1, 4, 2. Hence, the third option is correct.
