5. Vogue

Option 1: 3, 2, 5, 1, 4

Option 2: 5, 2, 3, 1, 4

Option 3: 2, 3, 5, 1, 4

Option 4: 4, 2, 3, 1, 5

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

Solution : Given:
1. Voice 2. Vocalist 3. Vivisection 4. Void 5. Vogue

Step 1: Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter V , then move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The second letter of each word is either i or o . Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – V i visection, V o ice, V o calist, V o id, V o gue
Step 3: Compare the third letter of (Vo c alist, Vo g ue, Vo i ce, Vo i d).  Vo c alist will come before (Vo g ue, Vo i ce, and Vo i d) in the sequence as c comes before g and i in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Vo g ue will come before (Vo i ce, Vo i d) as g comes before i .
Step 4: Compare the fourth letter of (Voi c e, Voi d ). Voi c e will come before Voi d in the sequence as c comes before d in the alphabetical system.

So, the sequence is Vivisection, Vocalist, Vogue, Voice, Void, or 3, 2, 5, 1, 4. Hence, the first option is correct.
