The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct sequence of steps for vermicomposting, we can follow these steps logically: 1. **Dig a pit in a suitable place**: This is the first step because you need a designated area to start the composting process. 2. **Spread sand on the floor of the pit**: After digging the pit, the next step is to prepare the base by spreading sand. This helps with drainage and aeration. 3. **Add vegetable peels and fruit waste in the pit**: Once the base is ready, you can add organic waste like vegetable peels and fruit scraps. This provides the necessary nutrients for the worms. 4. **Sprinkle water to keep it moist**: After adding the organic waste, it is important to keep the mixture moist. This step ensures that the worms have a suitable environment to thrive. 5. **Place red worms in the pit**: Finally, you introduce the red worms into the pit. They will break down the organic matter and create nutrient-rich compost. Based on the above steps, the correct sequence is: (i) Dig a pit in a suitable place (v) → (ii) Spread sand on the floor of the pit (i) → (vi) Add vegetable peels and fruit waste in the pit (vi) → (iv) Sprinkle water to keep it moist (iv) → (ii) Place red worms in the pit (ii). Thus, the correct sequence of steps is: 5 → 1 → 6 → 4 → 2
