Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Concept: In a "meaningful sequence" reasoning question of this kind, the given words each name a unit of social organisation, and one unit is fully contained inside the next - so the correct order runs strictly from the smallest unit to the largest, with no unit skipped or placed out of its nested position.
Application: Member (3) is the smallest unit - a single individual. Family (1) is the group of members related by kinship. Community (2) is the group of families that live together and share common customs. Locality (4) is the geographical area within which several communities exist. Country (5) is the largest unit, made up of many localities. Placing these from smallest to largest gives: Member, Family, Community, Locality, Country - that is, 3, 1, 2, 4, 5.
Cross-check: Verify the nesting holds at every step - a member belongs to a family; a family belongs to a community; a community exists within a locality; and a locality lies within a country. Each unit sits inside exactly the next larger one, confirming the sequence 3, 1, 2, 4, 5 is unbroken and complete.
