Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's arrange the words according to English alphabetical order:
All words start with 'Con'. Let's look at the 4th letter:

* 3. Conflagration (4th letter 'f') comes first among all since 'f' comes before 's'. So, 3 is first.

Now look at the 5th letter for the remaining words starting with 'Cons':

* 2. Conscience (5th letter 'c') comes next.

* 4. Consequence (5th letter 'e') comes next.

Now look at the 6th letter for words starting with 'Consi' (1, 5, 6):

* 5. Considerable (6th letter 'd') comes next.

* 6. Consignment (6th letter 'g') comes next.

* 1. Consistence (6th letter 's') comes last.

Thus, the correct sequence is 3, 2, 4, 5, 6, 1.
