Solution :
Given:
1. Stone 2. Song 3. Sport 4. Singer 5. Strong
Step 1:
Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
S
, move to the next letter.
Step 2:
The second letters of the words are
t, o, p, i, and t
respectively in the given order. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – S
i
nger, S
o
ng, S
p
ort, S
t
one, S
t
rong.
Step 3:
Compare the third letter of (St
o
ne, St
r
ong). Stone will come before Strong in the sequence as
o
comes before
r
in alphabetical order.
So, the sequence will be Singer, Song, Sport, Stone, Strong, or 4, 2, 3, 1, 5. Hence, the second option is correct.
