Solution :
Given:

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 – Ext
i
nct, Ext
o
l, Ext
o
rt, Ext
r
a.
Step 3:
Compare the fifth letter of (Exto
l
, Exto
r
t). Extol will come before Extort in the sequence as
