Logical Sequence of Words Questions and Answers

Answer: A

The logical order is 3, 1, 2, 4, 5: Member, Family, Community, Locality, Country.

The order runs from the smallest social unit to the largest: an individual member belongs to a family, families form a community, communities make up a locality, and localities together form the country.

The other orders place the locality or the country before the community, which reverses part of this progression from small to large. All the options agree on starting with member and family, so the decision rests on putting community before locality.

Answer: A

The sequence is 2, 4, 3, 5, 1, 6.

Follow the life of a notebook: a Seed (2) grows into a Plant (4), which gives Wood (3); wood is pulped into Pulp (5), pulp is made into Paper (1), and paper is bound into a Notebook (6).

Option D puts pulp before wood, which reverses the papermaking step, and options B and C do not follow the process at all.

Answer: C

The sequence is 2, 5, 3, 1, 4.

Recruitment runs in this order: the post is announced by Advertisement (2), candidates send an Application (5), shortlisted candidates face an Interview (3), the successful ones are chosen (Selection, 1), and they then receive an Appointment (4).

The other options begin with selection or application, or put appointment before selection, none of which can happen.

Answer: C

The sequence is 3, 4, 2, 1, 5.

Arrange from smallest unit to largest: Letter (3) makes Words (4), words make a Sentence (2), sentences make a Paragraph (1), and paragraphs make a Chapter (5).

Options A and B start with the sentence, skipping the smaller units, and option D runs from chapter downwards but in the wrong order.

Answer: A

The logical order is 3, 2, 5, 1, 4.

The words describe positive feeling in rising intensity: Ambivalence (3), mixed feelings, comes first; then Happiness (2), Pleasure (5), Euphoria (1), and finally Ecstasy (4), the most intense.

Option A is the only one that starts at ambivalence and ends at ecstasy. Options B and D start with euphoria or ecstasy and are not consistently ordered either way, and option C begins with happiness and puts ambivalence in the middle.

Answer: C

The meaningful order is 25134.

The steps from field to garment are: plough the field (2), sow the seed (5), harvest the cotton (1), process it in the mill (3), and make clothes (4). That gives 2-5-1-3-4.

25314 sends the seed to the mill before cotton is grown, 52134 sows before ploughing, and 52314 does both. Only 25134 follows the natural sequence.

Answer: A

The meaningful order is 4, 2, 1, 3: egg, larva, pupa, moth.

A moth undergoes complete metamorphosis. The female lays eggs; each egg hatches into a larva (the caterpillar), which feeds and grows; the larva then forms a pupa (inside a cocoon), in which the body is rebuilt; and the adult moth emerges from the pupa.

The other orders break this cycle. 4, 1, 2, 3 puts the pupa before the larva, and both orders beginning 4, 3 make the adult hatch straight from the egg, skipping the stages that produce it.

Answer: B

The dictionary order is (iii), (v), (iv), (i), (ii).

All five words begin with P, so compare the second letter: a (Pastel), e (Pebble), o (Postal), r (Pragmatic, Protect). Pragmatic and Protect both have r, so the third letter decides: a comes before o.

That gives Pastel, Pebble, Postal, Pragmatic, Protect. The options starting with Postal (iv) misplace it, and the option with Postal before Pebble ignores that e comes before o.

Answer: C

The meaningful order is (iii), (i), (iv), (ii), (v).

A plant's life follows soil, seed, plant, flower, fruit: the seed is sown in the soil, grows into a plant, the plant flowers, and the flower develops into the fruit.

The other two orders start with the plant or the flower and end with the soil, which reverses the growth sequence, so 'None of these' is also wrong.

Questions of this kind test logical sequence, so look for the natural starting point (here the soil) and then follow cause and effect.

Answer: C

The logical order is (v), (ii), (i), (iii), (iv): finger, palm, wrist, elbow, shoulder.

The words name parts of the arm, and the sequence runs from the tip of the hand towards the body: the finger joins the palm, the palm joins the forearm at the wrist, the forearm meets the upper arm at the elbow, and the upper arm meets the body at the shoulder.

Options A and B jump back and forth along the arm, so they follow no physical order. Since option C is correct, 'None of the above' is wrong.
