Final answer:

The correct sequence of steps in the operation of a semi-automatic firearm is Feeding, Chambering, Locking, Firing, Unlocking, Extracting, Ejecting, and Cocking, which corresponds to option 1 in the list provided by the student.

Explanation:

The correct sequence of steps in the operation of a firearm, specifically a semi-automatic firearm, is represented by the sequence Feeding, Chambering, Locking, Firing, Unlocking, Extracting, Ejecting, and Cocking. Thus, the correct option among the given choices is:

  1. Feeding
  2. Chambering
  3. Locking
  4. Firing
  5. Unlocking
  6. Extracting
  7. Ejecting
  8. Cocking

During this process, a cartridge is fed into the chamber of the firearm; the breech mechanism locks in place; the firing pin is struck or the primer is ignited to fire the cartridge; the locking mechanism unlocks; the spent cartridge is extracted; it is then ejected out of the firearm; and, finally, the firing mechanism is cocked, ready for the next shot. This sequence ensures that the firearm operates correctly and safely with each pull of the trigger.
