Correct Answer: 2, 4, 1, 3
Solution :
Given:
1. Launderette 2. Laughter 3. Laundry 4. Launch
Step 1:
Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
L
, then move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The second and third letters of each word are the same, i.e.,
a
and
u
, so move on to the next letter.
Step 3:
The fourth letter of each word is either
n
or
g
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Lau
g
hter, Lau
n
derette, Lau
n
dry, Lau
n
ch.
Step 4:
Compare the fifth letter of (Laun
d
erette, Laun
d
ry, Laun
c
h). Launch will come before Launderette and Laundry as
c
comes before
d
in alphabetical order.
Step 5:
Compare the sixth letter of Laund
e
rette and Laund
r
y. Launderette will come before Laundry as
e
comes before
r
in alphabetical order.
So, the sequence is Laughter, Launch, Launderette, Laundry, or 2, 4, 1, 3. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
