Answer
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
