4. Exacerbate

5. Exhaust

This question was previously asked in

The correct answer is

43152

All five words share the prefix “Exa…”, so compare the next differing letters.

Among Exac- words: Exacerbate (e) precedes Exactly and Exacts (both have t at position 5). Between Exactly and Exacts, “l” (Exactly) precedes “s” (Exacts).

So the Exac- group orders as Exacerbate (4) → Exactly (3) → Exacts (1). Then by the 3rd letter, Exhaust precedes Exotic, giving Exhaust (5) → Exotic (2).

Full dictionary order: 4, 3, 1, 5, 2 → 43152.
