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


Solution : Given:
1. Storm  2. Strap  3. Strangle  4. Stamped  5. Satire

Step 1: Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter S, move to the next letter.
Step 2: The second letter of each word is: a, t. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Satire, Storm, Strap, Strangle, Stamped
Step 3: Compare the third letter of (Storm, Strap, Strangle, Stamped). Stamped will come before (Storm, Strap, Strangle), in the sequence as a comes before o and in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Storm will come before (Strap, Strangle) as comes before r. 
Step 4: Compare the fifth letter of (Strap, Strangle). Strangle will come before Strap, in the sequence as comes before p.

The sequence is Satire, Stamped, Storm, Strangle, Strap, or 5, 4, 1, 3, 2. Hence, the third option is correct.
