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

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.
Step 2: 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 t 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.
