      Solution

      First blank - we need an adjective here to modify the noun CITIES. The sentence talks about how the cities are susceptible to sea level rise and storms. EXPOSED and VULNERABLE will fit here. Exhausted - weary; excessively tired. Second blank - we need an adjective here to modify the pronoun WHICH. The sentence talks about how it is predicted that storms will worsen as climate change progresses. DESTRUCTIVE, CATASTROPHIC and DEVASTATING all mean capable of causing great harm, and will fit here.
