Solution :
Given:
1. Significant 2. Sinful 3. Signed 4. Singing 5. Simplify
Step 1:
Compare the first two letters of each word. Since both the words start with the same letter
S
and
i
, then move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The third letter of each word is –
g, n, g, n, m
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Si
g
nificant, Si
g
ned, Si
m
plify, Si
n
ful, Si
n
ging
Step 3:
Compare the fifth letter of (Sign
i
ficant, Sign
e
d) and the fourth letter of (Sin
f
ul, Sin
g
ing). Signed will come before Significant in the sequence as
e
comes before
i
in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Sinful will come before Singing.
So, the sequence is Signed, Significant, Simplify, Sinful, Singing, or 31524. Hence, the first option is correct.
