Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's sort the words step-by-step alphabetically:All words start with 'Sc'. Let's look at the third letter:Sca... (Scandal, Scatter)Sce... (Scenery)Sch... (School)Sci... (Science)Compare words starting with 'Sca':Scandal (3) comes before Scatter (5) since 'n' comes before 't'.Now place the remaining words by their third letters:Scenery (1) follows next ('e').School (4) follows next ('h').Science (2) comes last ('i').The final correct sequence is 3, 5, 1, 4, 2.
