Correct Answer: (ii), (iv), (i), (iii), (v)

Explanation

Introduction / Context:These five words depict a common real-life micro-sequence around infant care. We must order them into a coherent cause-and-effect timeline from the initial state to the natural outcome.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Items: Mother (i), Child (ii), Milk (iii), Cry (iv), Smile (v).
  • We assume a typical nurturing response pattern.

Concept / Approach:The child initiates the sequence (existence), expresses need by crying, which elicits the mother’s attention; she provides milk (feeding), after which the child is satisfied and smiles.

Step-by-Step Solution:

1) Child (ii) — the subject of the routine.2) Cry (iv) — the need signal.3) Mother (i) — respondent to the signal.4) Milk (iii) — the provided nourishment.5) Smile (v) — the satisfied outcome.

Verification / Alternative check:

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • (a) starts with Mother and Smile, ignoring the child’s initiating cue.
  • (c) places Milk before Mother, reversing caregiver action.
  • (d) is incomplete and out of order.

Common Pitfalls:

  • Swapping “Mother” and “Milk.” The act (feeding) follows the actor’s arrival.
  • Starting with “Smile,” which is an effect, not a cause.

Final Answer:(ii), (iv), (i), (iii), (v)
