Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Correct ordering: Person < Family < Locality < Community < Country (numeric order: 5, 3, 2, 1, 4).

Reason: Arrange the words by increasing size or scope. A person is the smallest unit, several persons form a family, families make up a locality, localities form a community, and communities together make up a country.

Ascending order (smallest to largest): Person, Family, Locality, Community, Country = 5, 3, 2, 1, 4

Descending order (largest to smallest): Country, Community, Locality, Family, Person = 4, 1, 2, 3, 5

Among the provided options, the arrangement that matches the meaningful size-based ordering is the one that lists 5, 3, 2, 1, 4.
