Correct Answer: 2, 3, 5, 1, 4
Solution :
Given:
1. Sandwich 2. Salad 3. Salami 4. Saturn 5. Salty
Step 1:
Compare the first and the second letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
S
and are followed by
a,
then move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The third letter of each word is
l
,
n
, or
t.
Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Sa
l
ad, Sa
l
ami, Sa
l
ty, Sa
n
dwich, Sa
t
urn.
Step 3:
Compare the fourth letter of (Sal
a
d, Sal
a
mi, Sal
t
y). Sal
a
d, and Sal
a
mi will come before Sal
t
y in the sequence as
a
comes before
t
in the alphabetical system.
Step 4:
Compare the fifth letter of (Sala
d
, Sala
m
i). Sala
d
will come before Sala
m
i in the sequence as
d
comes before
m
in the alphabetical system.
So, the sequence is Salad, Salami, Salty, Sandwich, Saturn or 2, 3, 5,1, 4. Hence, the first option is correct.
