Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept: Language units nest from smallest to largest, each one built out of the unit before it -- Letters combine to form a Word, Words combine to form a Phrase, Phrases combine to form a Sentence, and Sentences combine to form a Paragraph. In an "arrange in a meaningful sequence" question built on this kind of hierarchy, the correct order simply follows this smallest-to-largest containment chain.
Application: Placing the five given items on this hierarchy -- Letters (4) is the smallest unit; Word (1) is formed from letters; Phrase (5) is a group of words; Sentence (3) is one or more phrases forming a complete grammatical statement; Paragraph (2) is a group of related sentences, the largest unit among the five. Reading the items off in that smallest-to-largest order gives the sequence 4, 1, 5, 3, 2.
Cross-check: Verify each adjacent transition on its own -- Letters before Word (letters form words), Word before Phrase (words form phrases), Phrase before Sentence (phrases form sentences), and Sentence before Paragraph (sentences form paragraphs). Every transition holds, confirming that 4, 1, 5, 3, 2 is the correctly ordered sequence.
