Letter-ordering (forms a meaningful English word): Given letters with fixed positions — A(1) L(2) I(3) R(4) E(5) M(6) C(7) — which index sequence produces a valid word?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: 6, 3, 4, 1, 7, 2, 5

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:We must pick an index order that turns A(1), L(2), I(3), R(4), E(5), M(6), C(7) into a standard English word.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Mapping: 1→A, 2→L, 3→I, 4→R, 5→E, 6→M, 7→C.
  • Exactly one option should create a dictionary word.

Concept / Approach:Try to recognize a target quickly. “MIRACLE” fits these letters.

Step-by-Step Solution:Option A: 6,3,4,1,7,2,5 → M(6), I(3), R(4), A(1), C(7), L(2), E(5) = “MIRACLE”.

Verification / Alternative check:Spelling check confirms “MIRACLE.” Other options scramble the order into non-words.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:They fail to produce a common English word.

Common Pitfalls:Swapping letter-index pairs or overlooking the simple pattern that spells “MIRACLE.”

Final Answer:6, 3, 4, 1, 7, 2, 5
