1. Select  2. Seldom  3. Send  4.Selfish  5.Seller

Options:

1,2,4,5,3

2,1,5,4,3

2,1,4,5,3

2,5,4,1,3

Correct Answer:

2,1,4,5,3

Explanation:

Compare the words letter by letter.

Words:

  1. Select
  2. Seldom
  3. Send
  4. Selfish
  5. Seller

All begin with Sel except Send, so Send will come last.

Now compare the Sel... words:

  • Seldom = Seld
  • Select = Sele
  • Selfish = Self
  • Seller = Sell

Since d < e < f < l, the order is:

  1. Seldom (2)
  2. Select (1)
  3. Selfish (4)
  4. Seller (5)
  5. Send (3)

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