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


Solution : Given:
1. Advantage 2. Advice 3. Advise 4. Admirable 5. Adorable

Step 1: Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter A , then move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The second letter of each word is the same, i.e., d , move on to the next letter.
Step 3: The third letter of each word is v , v , v , m and o . Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Ad m irable, Ad o rable, Ad v antage, Ad v ice, Ad v ise
Step 4: Compare the fourth letter of (Adv a ntage, Adv i ce, Adv i se). Advantage will come before Advice and Advise in the sequence as a comes before i in the alphabetical system.
Step 5: Compare the fifth letter of (Advi c e, Advi s e). Advice will come before Advise in the sequence as c comes before s in the alphabetical system.

So, the sequence is Admirable, Adorable, Advantage, Advice, Advise, or 4, 5, 1, 2, 3. Hence, the second option is correct.
