Hey guys,
Does anyone know if question 6B is to do with the resulting carbocation being stabilised by an electron-donating methyl group in the R1 position, etc?
And more stabilisation if R2 is Ph?
So R1=ME, R2=Ph is most stable and the one with both R1 and R2 as H is least stable??

P.S. If poss, any thoughts on question 4a here would be appreciated too:
