Life events — select the meaningful chronological sequence: (a) Birth (b) Death (c) Funeral (d) Marriage (e) Education

Introduction / Context:
The sequence asks for a typical order of major life events from beginning to end of life, with common social milestones placed appropriately.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Events: Birth → Education → Marriage → Death → Funeral.
• We interpret “education” broadly (school/college years) and “funeral” as a ceremony after death.

Concept / Approach:
Start at the natural beginning (birth), proceed through personal development (education), then a common adult milestone (marriage), and finally the end of life followed by the related ceremony.

Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Birth (a) — the starting point.2) Education (e) — formative years.3) Marriage (d) — typical adult social milestone.4) Death (b) — end of life.5) Funeral (c) — post-death ceremony.

Verification / Alternative check:
Many aptitude examples use precisely this order in general reasoning contexts.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Placing funeral before death is impossible.
• Starting with marriage or education ignores life’s beginning.

Common Pitfalls:
Overthinking cultural differences; the question expects a widely accepted generic order.

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