Share

1. Contradiction
2. Contradict
3. Contract
4. Contrive
5. Contribute

Here, we need to look after "Contr" for each word as "Contr" is common to all.

So, we have: adiction, adict, act, ive, ibute

Arranging them in the order, we get: act, adict, adiction, ibute, ive

Hence, the correct order is 3, 2, 1, 5, 4
