Which item will stand in the middle if the following are rearranged in proper…

CONCEPT: In a Logical Sequence of Words question, arrange the given items in their real-world chronological or cause-effect order — the order in which the described process actually happens — and then read off the item sitting at the position asked about (here, the middle position).

APPLICATION: This item describes a crop-harvesting process. Arranging it in the order the process actually occurs:

1. Seed sowing (item 3) — sowing the seed always starts the cycle.

2. Irrigation (item 5) — the field is irrigated after sowing.

3. Crop cutting (item 2) — once grown, the crop is cut/harvested.

4. Selling (item 4) — the harvested crop is sold in the market.

5. Consuming (item 1) — finally, the produce is consumed.

CROSS-CHECK: With five items in the sequence, the middle position is the 3rd — item 2 (Crop cutting). Checking from both ends confirms it: two steps precede it (sowing, irrigation) and two follow it (selling, consuming).

Hence, the correct answer is "2" (Crop cutting).
