Correct Answer: ii, iii, iv, i


Solution : Given:
(i) Monopoly (ii) Manifesto (iii) Manifold (iv) Mankind

Step 1: Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter M , we move on to the next letter.
Step 2: Let's move to the second letter of each word. The second letter of each word is o, a, a, a . Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them: M a nifesto, M a nifold, M a nkind, M o nopoly.
Step 3: Since the third letter of (Ma n ifesto, Ma n ifold, Ma n kind) is the same, move on to the fourth letter. Compare the fourth letter of (Man i festo, Man i fold, Man k ind). Man i festo, and Man i fold will come before Man k ind as i comes before k in the alphabetical system.
Step 4: Since the fifth letter of (Mani f esto, Mani f old) is the same, move on to the sixth letter. Now, compare the sixth letter of (Manif e sto, Manif o ld). Manif e sto will come before Manif o ld as e comes before o in the alphabetical system.

So, the sequence is Manifesto, Manifold, Mankind, Monopoly, or (ii), (iii), (iv), (i). Hence, the first option is correct.
