Solution :
Given:
1. Assemble 2. Astronomy 3. Assessment 4. Ascending 5. Assumption 6. Assurance
Step 1:
Compare the first and second letters of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
A
and are followed by
s
then move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The third letter of each word is
c, s
, or
t
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them –As
c
ending, As
s
emble, As
s
essment, As
s
umption, As
s
urance, As
t
ronomy.
Step 3:
Compare the fifth letter of (Asse
m
ble, Asse
s
sment) and the fifth letter of (Assu
m
ption, Assu
r
ance). Asse
m
ble will come before Asse
s
sment in the sequence as
m
comes before
s
in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Assu
m
ption will come before Assu
r
ance as
m
comes before
r
.
So, the sequence is Ascending, Assemble, Assessment, Assumption, Assurance, Astronomy or 4,1, 3, 5, 6, 2. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
