Arrange the construction-related items from raw material to completed dwelling: Items: (a) Wall (b) Clay (c) House (d) Room (e) Bricks Choose the correct earliest-to-latest sequence in the construction chain.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: b, e, a, d, c

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
This verbal reasoning item asks you to order common construction terms from basic raw inputs to the final structure. Understanding the production chain helps determine a logical chronology.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • (b) Clay is the raw material for traditional bricks.
  • (e) Bricks are manufactured units made from clay.
  • (a) Wall is built by assembling bricks (with mortar).
  • (d) Room is an enclosed space formed by walls.
  • (c) House is the overall building comprising rooms.


Concept / Approach:
Follow the materials/process flow: raw material → intermediate product → component → subspace → whole building.


Step-by-Step Solution:

Start with clay (b) as the fundamental input.Clay is fired/made into bricks (e).Bricks are laid to build a wall (a).Walls enclose a room (d).Rooms together constitute a house (c).


Verification / Alternative check:
The chain respects necessary dependencies; a room cannot precede a wall, and bricks cannot precede clay.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • e,b,a,d,c is close but still assumes bricks exist before clay is considered (reverse dependency).
  • Sequences placing house before rooms or walls violate construction logic.
  • “None of these” is unnecessary since a correct option exists.


Common Pitfalls:
Confusing “room” and “wall” order; a room requires enclosing walls.


Final Answer:
b, e, a, d, c
