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

Solution : Given:
1. Brochure 2. Brine 3. Bright 4. Brief 5. Brocade

Step 1: Compare the first and second letters of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter B and are followed by r , then move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The third letter of each word is either i or o . Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Br i ne, Br i ght, Br i ef, Br o chure, Br o cade.
Step 3: Compare the fourth letter of (Bri n e, Bri g ht, Bri e f). Bri e f comes before Bri g ht and Bri g ht will come before Bri n e in the sequence as e comes before g and g comes before n in the alphabetical system.
Step 4: Compare the fifth letter of (Broc h ure, Broc a de). Broc a de will come before Broc h ure in the sequence as a comes before h in the alphabetical system.

So, the sequence is Brief, Bright, Brine, Brocade, Brochure, or 4, 3, 2, 5, 1. Hence, the third option is correct.
