Correct Answer: b, a, d, c


Solution : Given:
a. Extol b. Extinct c. Extra d. Extort

Step 1: Compare the first, second, and third letters of each word. Since all the words start with the same letters E, x, and t, move on to the next letter.
Step 2: The fourth letter of each word is o, i, and r. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Extinct, Extol, Extort, Extra.
Step 3: Compare the fifth letter of (Extol, Extort). Extol will come before Extort in the sequence as l comes before r in the alphabetical system.

So, the order is Extinct, Extol, Extort, Extra, or b, a, d, c. Hence, the second option is correct.
