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


Solution : Given:
1. Home  2. House  3. Houston  4. Honor  5. Horror

Step 1: Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter H , move to the next letter.
Step 2: Compare the second letter of each word. The second letter of each word is o , then move on to the next letter.
Step 3: The third letter of each word is – m, u, u, n, r . Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Ho m e, Ho u se, Ho u ston, Ho n or, Ho r ror
Step 4: Compare the fourth letter of (Hou s e, Hou s ton). Since the fourth letter of both the words is the same. Therefore, move on to the next letter.
Step 4: Compare the fifth letter of (Hous e , Hous t on). House will come before Houston in the sequence as e comes before t in the alphabetical order.

So, the sequence will be Home, Honor, Horror, House, Houston, or 1, 4, 5, 2, 3. Hence, the second option is correct.
