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


Solution : Given:
1. Submerse 2. Sublimity 3. Submerge 4. Submit 5. Submarine

Step 1: Compare the first letter of all the words. Since all the words start with the same letter S , then move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The second, and third letters of all the words are the same, i.e., u , and b . So, move on to the next letter.
Step 3: The fourth letter of each word is either m or l . The words can be arranged as follows – Sublimity, Submerse, Submerge, Submit, Submarine.
Step 4: Compare the fifth letter of (Subm e rse, Subm e rge, Subm i t, Subm a rine). Submarine will come before Submerse, Submerge, and Submit as a comes before e , and i according to the alphabetical system. Similarly, Submerse, and Submerge will come before Submit as e comes before i according to the alphabetical system.
Step 5: Compare the seventh letter of (Submer s e, Submer g e). Submerge will come before Submerse as g comes before s according to the alphabetical system.

So, the sequence is Sublimity, Submarine, Submerge, Submerse, Submit, or 2, 5, 3, 1, 4. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
