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.
