Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's arrange the given words in alphabetical (dictionary) order:
All words start with 'F'.

The second letters are 'r', 'r', 'l', 'r', 'u'. In alphabetical order, 'l' comes first, followed by 'r', then 'u'.

Third letters are 'i', 'i', 'i'.

Fourth letters are 'e' (in Friend), 'n' (in Fringe), 'g' (in Frighten).

Comparing 'e', 'g', 'n': 'e' comes first, then 'g', then 'n'.

The remaining word is Future (5).
