Concept: A logical sequencing question tests whether you can arrange events into the real-world chronological order of a process, where each step must be a genuine prerequisite for the one after it — cause before effect, in the order things are actually done.

Application:

1. Market (2) — first you go to the market, because this is where the raw ingredients are obtained.

2. Vegetable (5) — at the market you get the vegetable, the raw material for the dish.

3. Cutting (4) — before it can be cooked, the vegetable must be cut/prepared.

4. Cooking (3) — the cut vegetable is then cooked.

5. Dish (1) — once cooking is complete, the dish is ready to be served.

Cross-check: Every other ordering breaks at least one of these prerequisites — placing cooking before the vegetable is cut, or the finished dish before cooking is complete, or the market visit after the vegetable is already in hand. Only the order Market, Vegetable, Cutting, Cooking, Dish satisfies every prerequisite simultaneously, i.e. 2, 5, 4, 3, 1.
