Predict the major and minor products. Make sure to label if E1, E2, SN1, or SN2.
The image illustrates a chemical reaction involving an organic compound and a hydroxide ion (HO⁻). 

**Left Side:**
- A pentagon represents a cyclopentane ring structure.
- A line extends from one carbon of the pentagon to a bromine atom (Br), indicating a bromocyclopentane compound.

**Arrow:**
- A horizontal arrow points from left to right beneath the structures, signifying the progression of the reaction with hydroxide ion (HO⁻) as the reagent.

**Right Side:**
- A structural transformation shows a secondary alcohol group (an OH group) replacing the bromine atom in the linear structure. 
- The OH group is depicted with a lone pair of electrons, indicated by two dots next to the oxygen.

This graphical reaction shows a nucleophilic substitution process where the bromine is replaced by a hydroxide ion, forming an alcohol.
