Step 1:
Compare the first, second, and third letters of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
A
and are followed by
g
and
e
, then move on to the next letter.

i
or
n
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Age

sm, Age
i
st, Age
n
da, Age
n
try, Age
n
cy.
Step 3:
Compare the sixth letter of (Ageis
m
, Ageis
t
). Ageis
m
will come before Ageis
t
in the sequence as
m
comes before
t
in the alphabetical system.
Step 4:
Compare the fifth letter of (Agen
d
a, Agen
t
ry, Agen
c
y). Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Agen
c
y, Agen
d
a, Agen
t
ry.
So, the sequence is Ageism, Ageist, Agency, Agenda, Agentry.
Therefore, Agenda comes in the fourth position. Hence, the second option is correct.
