In each of the following questions, arrange the given words in a meaningful…

Concept: A logical sequencing question asks you to arrange items into a chain of cause and effect, where each step is caused by the one before it and leads directly into the next, from the root cause to the final outcome.

Application: Applying this cause-and-effect chain to the given words:

1. Population - a rising population is the root socio-economic factor that puts pressure on available resources and jobs.

2. Unemployment - when population growth outpaces job creation, Unemployment rises.

3. Poverty - loss of income due to Unemployment leads to Poverty.

4. Disease - the poor nutrition and sanitation that come with Poverty cause Disease.

5. Death - untreated Disease is the final consequence, leading to Death.

Cross-check: Comparing this chain against the other listed sequences:

• The sequence 3, 4, 2, 5, 1 (Death, Unemployment, Population, Disease, Poverty) starts with Death, treating the final outcome of the chain as its starting cause.

• The sequence 2, 3, 4, 5, 1 (Population, Death, Unemployment, Disease, Poverty) places Death right after Population, skipping over the intermediate social and economic effects that a meaningful cause-and-effect chain must include.

• The sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (Poverty, Population, Death, Unemployment, Disease) simply follows the original numbered listing rather than any cause-and-effect logic, separating related causes from their effects.

The sequence 2, 4, 1, 5, 3 (Population, Unemployment, Poverty, Disease, Death) is the only one that traces this chain completely and in order.
