Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Logical or temporal sequencing questions test whether you can arrange a set of events into the order in which they naturally occur, using cues such as cause-and-effect, procedural flow, or chronological necessity. The governing principle: find the event that must occur first (nothing precedes it), then trace which event logically or causally follows from each preceding one until every event is placed.
Applying this to the given events:
Arrival (3) comes first: one must arrive at the venue before anything else in the process can happen.
Introduction (5) follows: once participants have arrived, they are introduced to each other or to the session.
Presentation (1) comes next: after introductions, the actual presentation or topic is delivered.
Discussion (4) follows the presentation: the delivered content is then discussed.
Recommendation (2) comes last: recommendations are made only after the discussion concludes.
This gives the order Arrival, Introduction, Presentation, Discussion, Recommendation, that is, 3, 5, 1, 4, 2.
Checking the other options against the same rule:
5, 3, 4, 1, 2: opens with Introduction before Arrival, which is impossible since introductions happen only after arrival.
3, 5, 4, 2, 1: places Presentation as the very last step, after Discussion and Recommendation have already taken place, which does not fit how a meeting process concludes.
5, 3, 1, 4, 2: opens with Introduction before Arrival, an impossible starting point, since introductions happen only after arrival.
Hence the correct sequence is 3, 5, 1, 4, 2.
