Expert Solution

Step 1

LAH is Lithium aluminum hydride. it can give hydride ion which acts as a nucleophile.
Reduction of epoxide to alcohols is done by LAH.
The hydride ion attacks on the less hindered carbon of epoxide to form an anion.
Abstraction of proton from hydronium ion takes place to form the product.
