Correct Answer: 3, 5, 2, 4, 1

Solution : Given:
1. Reciprocate 2. Reception 3. Recapitulate 4. Recipient 5. Receiver

Step 1: Compare the first, second, and third letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter, R, and are followed by e and c, move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The fourth letter of each word is either a , e, or i . Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Rec a pitulate, Rec e ption, Rec e iver, Rec i procate, Rec i pient.
Step 3: Compare the fifth letter of (Rece p tion, Rece i ver) and the sixth letter of (Recip r ocate, Recip i ent). Rece i ver will come before Rece p tion in the sequence as i comes before p in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Recip i ent will come before Recip r ocate as i comes before r .

So, the sequence is Recapitulate, Receiver, Reception, Recipient, Reciprocate or 3, 5, 2, 4, 1. Hence, the third option is correct
