Solution :
Given:
1. Storm 2. Strap 3. Strangle 4. Stamped 5. Satire
Step 1:
Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
S
, move to the next letter.

The second letter of each word is:
a, t
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – S
a
tire, S
t
orm, S

rap, S
t
rangle, S
t
amped
Step 3:
Compare the third letter of (St
o
rm, St
r
ap, St
r
angle, St
a
mped). Stamped will come before (Storm, Strap, Strangle), in the sequence as
a
comes before
o
and
r
in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Storm will come before (Strap, Strangle) as
o
comes before
r.
Step 4:
Compare the fifth letter of (Stra
p
, Stra
n
gle). Strangle will come before Strap, in the sequence as
n
comes before
p.
The sequence is Satire, Stamped, Storm, Strangle, Strap, or 5, 4, 1, 3, 2. Hence, the third option is correct.
