Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: a, e, d, b, c
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Logical sequence–of–words questions check whether you can order items by real-world chronology or cause–effect. Here the items describe the human life course and associated social rituals. The goal is to arrange them in the most natural, widely accepted order that fits typical life progression and cultural practice.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Use strict chronology and social convention: start with events that must come first (birth), follow with developmental and social milestones (education → marriage), then terminal events (death) and the immediate post-event ritual (funeral). This ensures a single coherent chain without contradictions.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Place a) Birth first.Education e) precedes marriage in standard progression.Marriage d) comes after education.Death b) necessarily precedes funeral.Funeral c) follows death as the concluding ritual.Therefore: a, e, d, b, c.
Verification / Alternative check:
Any sequence placing the funeral before death or marriage before education contradicts real-world order. The selected sequence satisfies all dependencies.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Overthinking culture-specific variations. Stick to universally valid ordering (birth → education → marriage → death → funeral).
Final Answer:
a, e, d, b, c
