Explanation:

1. For the first definition "A situation in which people in a lower hierarchical order (among a group) refuse to take orders from those in charge", the word "mutiny" fits as mutiny is a rebellion against authority, especially in a hierarchical group like a crew or military unit.
2. For the second definition "A statement or situation that contains two directly contradictory elements within", the word "paradox" is correct as a paradox is a self - contradictory statement or situation.
3. For the third definition "Forced to do something by an external stimulus", the word "compelled" is appropriate as "compelled" means being forced or driven to do something.
4. For the fourth definition "Extremely hungry; ravenous", the word "famished" is the right choice as "famished" means very hungry.
5. For the fifth definition "Unstoppable, inevitable", the word "inexorable" is correct as "inexorable" means not able to be stopped or changed, inevitable.
