Input - past back 32 47 19 own fear 25
Step I - 19 past back 32 47 own fear 25
Step II - 19 past 25 back 32 47 own fear
Step III - 19 past 25 own 32 back 47 fear
Step IV - 19 past 25 own 32 back 47 fear
Step V - 19 past 25 own 32 fear back 47
Step VI - 19 past 25 own 32 fear 47 back
And Step VI is the last step.
As per rules followed in above steps, find out in each of the following questions, the appropriate step for the given input.

Step II 12 over case 36 49 long ago 42
Step III 12 over 36 case 49 long ago 42
Step IV 12 over 36 long case 49 ago 42
