Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: d, b, a, c, e
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
This ordering focuses on the structural hierarchy and reproductive outcomes of a tree. Start with the complete organism, then its main subdivisions, then typical foliage and reproductive parts, and end with the product that follows flowering.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
The Tree is the whole. Branches are major subdivisions. Leaves are abundant organs attached to branches. Flowers appear on branch/twig structures. Fruit develops from flowers after pollination/setting. Thus, a clean order that blends hierarchy and process is Tree → Branch → Leaves → Flower → Fruit.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Tree (d): the whole organism.2) Branch (b): major structural unit.3) Leaves (a): common appendages on branches.4) Flower (c): reproductive organ.5) Fruit (e): product of flowering.Therefore: d, b, a, c, e.
Verification / Alternative check:
Any order putting fruit before flower or parts before the whole conflicts with the structural-first, then process logic we apply here.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Thinking only in growth chronology and forgetting structural nesting; this hybrid approach (structure then reproductive sequence) aligns well with GK reasoning items.
Final Answer:
d, b, a, c, e
