Arrange the words given below in a meaningful sequence. Water Soil Plant Seed…

Logical-sequence questions ask you to reconstruct the real-world order of dependent events: each stage must be completed before the next stage that relies on it can begin — this is cause-before-effect / dependency-based ordering, not an arbitrary arrangement.

Applying this to plant growth: this sequence tracks what happens to a seed as it develops, so the seed itself must be named first. It starts with a Seed, which is placed into Soil (the medium prepared to receive it). Once in soil, the seed needs Water to trigger germination. Only after germination does a Plant emerge, and the Plant then undergoes further Growth. So the dependency chain is Seed → Soil → Water → Plant → Growth, i.e. items 4 → 2 → 1 → 3 → 5.

Cross-check: reversing any adjacent pair breaks a real dependency — water cannot help before the seed is placed in soil, and a plant cannot exist before it has been watered — confirming that 4, 2, 1, 3, 5 is the only internally consistent order among those offered.

• 4, 2, 3, 1, 5 places Plant before Water — treating germination as already complete before watering has happened.

• 2, 4, 1, 3, 5 places Soil before Seed — but this sequence tracks what happens to the seed as it develops, so the seed (the subject of the process) must be named before the medium it is placed into, not after.

• 4, 1, 2, 3, 5 places Water before Soil — watering the seed before it has been placed into any medium.
