Arrange the following related items into a logical production sequence from source to finished product. Items: (a) Grapes (b) Vineyard (c) Wine (d) Brewing (fermentation) (e) Distillation

Introduction / Context:
This is a logical-sequence-of-words question. We arrange production-related terms in the order they naturally occur, starting from the place where the raw material originates, moving through processing steps, and ending with the finished product.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• (b) Vineyard is the place where grapes are cultivated.
• (a) Grapes are the raw agricultural produce.
• (d) Brewing here denotes alcoholic fermentation of grape juice.
• (e) Distillation is a downstream purification/concentration step often associated with producing stronger spirits (some syllabi still list it as a generic “next stage”).
• (c) Wine is the finished beverage in the context of these options.

Concept / Approach:
We must move from location → raw input → processing → refined processing → product. Among the given verbs, brewing/fermentation precedes any subsequent purification step. The final noun should be “wine”.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Check that each step depends on or follows the previous stage: you cannot brew before you have grapes; you cannot distil before fermentation creates an alcoholic base; the product label appears last.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• b, a, e, d, c: Puts distillation before brewing, reversing process order.
• c, e, d, b, a: Starts with the finished product then steps backward.
• b, a, d, c, e: Places wine before the listed final processing step.

Common Pitfalls:
Confusing physical “place” (vineyard) with “raw input” (grapes), and mixing up the order of brewing versus distillation.

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