second 1 is also first i feel becauze the carbanion is stabilized be reo. in the second 1 more [more canonical forms i feel]
for Q1. there is more canonical forms for the product (carbocation) of the first reaction.. it is allylic as well (resonance structures more same reason) ..
for Q1 . both of you are wrong. your reasoning is only partially correct
but not totally as the resulting structure is antiaromatic , it doesn't proceed at all .
the second one has a higher k
similar arguement goes for 3 rd one.firs tis antiaromatic , second is allylic so more reactive . is 2 nd one.
as far as second one is concerned your i.e iitcoming's answer is right.
reason is that the second one gets a antiaromatic ring which is highly unstable
