SSC Selection Post 2023 Graduation Level Question Paper (30 Jun, 2023) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

3, 4, 1, 5, 2

The correct answer is 3, 4, 1, 5, 2.

The principle is based on the sequence of letters in the standard alphabet (a, b, c, ..., z). When words have different lengths but are identical up to the length of the shorter word, the shorter word comes first. For example, "car" comes before "carpet". For questions involving dictionary order, careful letter-by-letter comparison is crucial to avoid errors.
