Option 2: 2, 3, 1, 4, 5

Option 3: 5, 4, 2, 3, 1

Option 4: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

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

Solution : Given:
1. Yangtze  2. Yakking  3. Yakuzas  4. Yobbery  5. Yobbish

Step 1: Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter Y , move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The second letter of each word is either a or o . Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Y a ngtze, Y a kking, Y a kuzas, Y o bbery, Y o bbish
Step 3: Compare the third letter of (Ya n gtze, Ya k king, Ya k uzas) and the fifth letter of (Yobb e ry, Yobb i sh). (Yakking, Yakuzas) will come before Yangtze in the sequence as k comes before n in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Yobbery will come before Yobbish as e comes before i .
Step 4: Compare the fourth letter of (Yak k ing, Yak u zas). Yakking will come before Yakuzas in the sequence as k comes before u in the alphabetical system.

The sequence is Yakking, Yakuzas, Yangtze, Yobbery, Yobbish, or 2, 3, 1, 4, 5. Hence, the second option is correct.
