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


Solution : Given:
1. Flint 2. Flec 3. Flaw  4. Fleet 5. Flight

Step 1: Compare the first and second letters of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter F and are followed by l , then move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The third letter of each word is a , e , or i. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Fl a w, Fl e c, Fl e et, Fl i nt, Fl i ght
Step 3: Compare the fourth letter of (Fle c , Fle e t). Fle c will come before Fle e t in the sequence as c comes before e in the alphabetical system.
Step 4: Compare the fourth letter of (Fli n t, Fli g ht). Fli g ht will come before Fli n t in the sequence as g comes before n in the alphabetical system.

So, the sequence is Flaw, Flec, Fleet, Flight, Flint, or 3, 2, 4, 5, 1. Hence, the third option is correct.
