Arrange the terms from raw biological origin to manufactured product. Items: (i) Table, (ii) Tree, (iii) Wood, (iv) Seed, (v) Plant. Choose a natural life-cycle/manufacturing chain without skipping stages.
Correct Answer: (iv), (v), (ii), (iii), (i)
Introduction / Context:This sequence blends a biological growth cycle with a manufacturing outcome. We must track the progression from the smallest biological start (seed) through growth stages to a harvested material (wood) and finally a human-made product (table).
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Biological stages: Seed → Plant → Tree.
- Material extraction: Tree → Wood.
- Manufacturing: Wood → Table.
Concept / Approach:Build a single pipeline that first completes the life cycle (seed to mature tree), then converts the biological resource into a material, and finally into a product.
Step-by-Step Solution:Sequence: (iv) Seed → (v) Plant → (ii) Tree → (iii) Wood → (i) Table.Each arrow is causal and respects real-world order.
Verification / Alternative check:Option A swaps Tree and Wood, which inverts harvesting; you cannot obtain a tree from wood. Options C and D start with a finished product (table), which violates the raw-to-product logic.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:They either begin at the end state or invert the resource-extraction step.
Common Pitfalls:
- Confusing “plant” with “finished wooden plant stand”—only the biological meaning is relevant.
Final Answer:(iv), (v), (ii), (iii), (i).
