I think #5 should be an adjective, not a noun

Yep — as @phillibuster says, either the answer for 9 should be
rapacious
, or the clue should be in nouns instead of adjectives, which may be tricky as
extortionate
and
predatory
don’t have terribly appropriate noun forms. (
Predatoriness?
Hmm…)

@phillibuster & Pit_trout: #5 should be the noun "rapacious." Thanks
