**QUESTION 9**

In the answer boxes, indicate whether carbon 2 and carbon 3 have R or S configuration in the following compound.

[Image Description]
The image presents a molecular structure featuring a central carbon chain with substituents. The carbon chain contains five carbon atoms. 

- The second carbon (C2) on the chain is bonded to a chlorine (Cl) atom (dashed wedge indicating a bond going away from the viewer), a hydrogen (H) atom (solid wedge indicating a bond coming out towards the viewer), one carbon (C1), and another carbon (C3).
- The third carbon (C3) on the chain is bonded to a hydroxyl (OH) group (solid wedge indicating a bond coming out towards the viewer), a hydrogen (H) atom (dashed wedge indicating a bond going away from the viewer), one carbon (C2), and another substituent (not fully shown in the image).

Write the configurations (R or S) for both carbon 2 and carbon 3 in the respective answer boxes based on the molecular geometry and priorities of the substituents.
