Identify the position where the nucleophilic attack of $(ArO^{-})$ is most favourable in the given molecule.

The major product expected from the mono-bromination of phenyl benzoate is

Which of the following groups is an ortho and para directing group?

The reaction of compound $P$ with $CH_3MgBr$ (excess) in $(C_2H_5)_2O$ followed by addition of $H_2O$ gives $Q$. The compound $Q$ on treatment with $H_2SO_4$ at $0^{\circ}C$ gives $R$. The reaction of $R$ with $CH_3COCl$ in the presence of anhydrous $AlCl_3$ in $CH_2Cl_2$ followed by treatment with $H_2O$ produces compound $S$ [$Et$ in compound $P$ is ethyl group].
$(1)$ The product $S$ is
$(2)$ The reactions,$Q$ to $R$ and $R$ to $S$,are

$A$. Dehydration and Friedel-Crafts acylation	$B$. Aromatic sulfonation and Friedel-Crafts acylation
$C$. Friedel-Crafts alkylation,dehydration and Friedel-Crafts acylation	$D$. Friedel-Crafts alkylation and Friedel-Crafts acylation
