Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept: In this type of question, the words must be arranged in the natural cause-and-effect order in which such events occur in real life — each event is the necessary precondition for the one immediately after it.
Application: Applying this to the legal process:
Crime (4) is committed.
The suspect is Arrested (1).
The court delivers its Judgment (5).
The Punishment (2) is announced.
The convict is sent to Prison (3) to serve the punishment.
This gives the sequence 4, 1, 5, 2, 3.
Cross-check: Swapping any adjacent pair breaks a required precondition — judgment cannot precede arrest, and prison cannot precede punishment — confirming 4, 1, 5, 2, 3 is the only internally consistent order.
