Explanation:

• For "sequence": A sequence is an orderly arrangement. For example, in a math class, we study the sequence of numbers like 2, 4, 6, 8 (where each number follows the previous one in a specific order).
• For "consecutive": Consecutive means following in a logical order. For instance, the consecutive days of the week are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (each day comes one after the other in a regular order).
