    As a newbie, I'm afraid I don't yet know how to tackle this issue.

      So, how would you tackle this issue without a computer?

      Write that down, and then translate that into a computer program.

      In the end, it will always come out to checking whether a list of terms is sequential.

      You could split your approach in two parts:

      1. Extract a list of terms from a document
      2. Check whether a list of terms is sequential

      ... and implement each of these, and in the end put them together.
