Correct Answer: 4, 3, 1, 2


Solution : Given:
1. Directorial 2. Directory 3. Directive 4. Directional

Step 1: Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter D , then move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth letters of each word are the same, i.e., i , r , e , c , t . So, move on to the next letter.
Step 3: The seventh letter of each word is either o or i . Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Direct i ve, Direct i onal, Direct o rial, Direct o ry
Step 4: Compare the eighth letter of (Directi v e, Directi o nal). Directional will come before Directive as o comes before v in alphabetical order.
Step 5: The eighth letter of (Directo r ial, Directo r y) is the same, i.e., r .
Step 6: Compare the ninth letter of (Director i al, Director y ). Directorial will come before Directory as i comes before y .

So, the sequence is Directional, Directive, Directorial, Directory, or 4, 3, 1, 2. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
