This question was previously asked in
SSC Selection Post 2019 Graduation Level Question Paper (16 Oct, 2019) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

5, 2, 1, 3, 4

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

Here are some key rules: Compare words letter by letter from left to right. The word with the letter that comes earlier in the alphabet at the first point of difference comes first. If one word is a prefix of another (e.g., "cat" and "catalog"), the shorter word (the prefix) comes first. Spaces and hyphens are usually ignored in simple alphabetization, but specific rules might apply in complex indexing.
