Solution : Given:
1. Garbage 2. Garrulous 3. Gabber 4. Garble
Step 1: Compare the first and the second letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter G and are followed by a, move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The third letter of each word is either b or r. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Gabber, Garbage, Garrulous, Garble

Step 4: Compare the fifth letter of (Garbage, Garble). Garbage will come before Garble in the sequence as a comes before e in the alphabetical system.
So, the sequence is Gabber, Garbage, Garble, Garrulous, or 3, 1, 4, 2. Hence, the third option is correct.
