The space is too small to show all the 12 leads. The idea of the question is the differential diagnosis of poor R wave progression, which is frequently seen in ECGs specially elderly, this inclde :-
(1) Left ventricular hypertrophy
(2) Left bundle branch block
(3) Left anterior fascicular block
(4) clockwise rotation of the heart (normal varient)
(5) and the very popular :- Wolf-Parkinson-White Syndrom
