(N/A) The conversion of benzene to $p$-nitroaniline involves the following steps:
$1$. Nitration of benzene with $conc. \ HNO_3 + conc. \ H_2SO_4$ to form nitrobenzene.
$2$. Reduction of nitrobenzene with $Sn/HCl$ to form aniline.
$3$. Acetylation of aniline with $(CH_3CO)_2O$ in the presence of pyridine to form acetanilide,which protects the $-NH_2$ group.
$4$. Nitration of acetanilide with $conc. \ HNO_3 + conc. \ H_2SO_4$ to give $p$-nitroacetanilide.
$5$. Hydrolysis of $p$-nitroacetanilide with $H_2O/H^+$ to obtain $p$-nitroaniline.
