Solution :
Given:
1. Strident 2. Student 3. Shirking 4. Stuffy 5. Spider 6. Spawn
Step 1:
Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
S
, then move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The second letter of each word is
t, t, h, t, p, p
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – S
h
rinking, S
p
ider, S
p
awn, S
t
rident, S
t
udent, S
t
uffy.
Step 3:
Compare the third letter of (Sp
i
der, Sp
a
wn) and (St
r
ident, St
u
dent, St
u
ffy). Spawn will come before Spider in the sequence as
a
comes before
i
in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Strident will come before Student and Stuffy as
r
comes before
u
.
Step 4:
Compare the fourth letter of (Stu
d
ent, Stu
f
fy). Student will come before Stuffy in the sequence as
d
comes before
f
in the alphabetical system.
So, the sequence is Shrinking, Spawn, Spider, Strident, Student, Stuffy, or, 3, 6, 5, 1, 2, 4. Hence, the first option is correct.
