Explanation
"Extirpate" means to destroy completely, to root out (4); "extol" is to praise enthusiastically (1); "extremity" is the farthest point (2); "expunge" is to remove completely, to erase (3). The code is 4-1-2-3, option (C). Note the fine distinction the question tests: extirpate destroys, expunge removes — swapping them, as option (B) does, is wrong.
