Solution :
Given:
1. Appear 2. Approach 3. Approximate 4. Apparition 5. Apparel
Step 1:
Compare the first, second, and third letters of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter A and P, we move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The fourth letter of each word is:
a, e, r.
Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them: Apparel, Apparition, Appear, Approach, Approximate
Step 3:
Compare the sixth letter of (Apparel, Apparition). Apparel will come before Apparition in the sequence as
e
comes before
i
in the alphabetical system.
Step 4:
Compare the letter of (Approach, Approximate). The approach will come before Approximate in the sequence as
a
comes before
x
in the alphabetical system.
So, the sequence is Apparel, Apparition, Appear, Approach, Approximate, or 5, 4, 1, 2, 3 Hence, the third option is correct.
