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


Solution : Given:
1. Measurement 2. Methodology 3. Melanin 4. Metaphor 5. Meritorious

Step 1: The first two letters are common in all so we will start with the third letter. The third letter of each word is a, t, r, l . Based on the alphabetical order we can arrange them as – Me a surement, Me l anin, Me r itorious, Me t hodology, Me t aphor
Step 2: Compare the fourth letter of (Met h odology, Met a phor). Metaphor will come before Methodology in the sequence as a comes before h .

So, the sequence will be Measurement, Melanin, Meritorious, Metaphor, Methodology, or 1, 3, 5, 4, 2. Hence, the second option is correct.
