C4, 1, 5, 2, 3
D3, 2, 5, 1, 4
Correct answer: (A) 2, 3, 1, 5, 4 — The ascending order from most specific to most general is wildcat, cat, mammal, vertebrate, animal, so the answer is 2, 3, 1, 5, 4.
Explanation
★The ascending order from most specific to most general is wildcat, cat, mammal, vertebrate, animal, so the answer is 2, 3, 1, 5, 4.
★These terms form a chain of ever wider classes.
★A wildcat is the most specific, a particular kind of cat.
★A cat is broader, and a mammal is broader still, covering all cats and more.
★A vertebrate is wider than a mammal, covering all animals with a backbone.
★An animal is the most general class, so it comes last.
