Answer
Correct Answer: c, b, a, d, e
Explanation
Introduction / Context:Logical process ordering is tested here using a familiar real-life sequence in healthcare, from becoming ill to eventual recovery.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- c = Sick (the condition exists first).
- b = Doctor (patient consults a physician).
- a = Diagnosis (doctor identifies the problem).
- d = Treatment (therapy/medication begins).
- e = Recovery (outcome after effective treatment).
Concept / Approach:We follow a simple time line: problem → help → identification → intervention → outcome.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Initial state: c (Sick).Next: b (Doctor) is consulted.Then: a (Diagnosis) is made.Then: d (Treatment) is administered.Finally: e (Recovery).Verification / Alternative check:Swapping diagnosis and treatment breaks medical logic; treatment follows identification of the issue.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
- b,a,c,d,e: Puts doctor visit and diagnosis before the illness—illogical.
- Other orders misplace treatment or recovery relative to diagnosis.
Common Pitfalls:Confusing the order of doctor/diagnosis versus treatment; diagnosis must precede specific treatment.
Final Answer:c, b, a, d, e
