Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept: In a construction-hierarchy “meaningful order” question, the terms must be arranged so that each item is a physical prerequisite for the item that follows it — from the base raw material, to the structural unit it forms, to the space that unit encloses, to the self-contained unit made of that space, to the larger complex composed of many such units.
Term | Role in the hierarchy |
|---|---|
Brick | Base raw material of construction |
Wall | Built from bricks; forms the sides of a room |
Room | Enclosed space bounded by walls |
Flat | Self-contained residential unit made up of rooms |
Apartment | Building/complex composed of many flats |
Application:
Brick is the base raw material, so it is placed first.
A Wall is built from bricks, so Wall follows Brick.
A Wall encloses a Room, so Room follows Wall.
A set of rooms forms a self-contained Flat, so Flat follows Room.
Many flats together make up the Apartment, so Apartment comes last.
Cross-check: Reading it in reverse also holds — an apartment building is composed of many flats, each flat is made up of rooms, each room is bounded by walls, and each wall is built of bricks — so the order is internally consistent both ways.
Writing the item numbers in this order — Brick (2), Wall (1), Room (4), Flat (5), Apartment (3) — gives “2, 1, 4, 5, 3”.
