Jana is ordering a list of numbers from least to greatest.

StartRoot 7 squared EndRoot, StartRoot 7 EndRoot, Four-fifths, StartRoot 0.8 EndRoot, (StartRoot 5 EndRoot) Squared

Which statement can be used to create her list?
StartRoot 0.8 EndRoot is less than Four-fifths because 0.8 = four-fifths and the square root of a number less than 1 is less than the number itself.
StartRoot 7 EndRoot is greater than StartRoot 7 squared EndRoot because StartRoot 7 squared EndRoot = 7 and the square root of a number greater than 1 is greater than the number itself.
(StartRoot 5 EndRoot) squaredis less than StartRoot 7 EndRoot because (StartRoot 5 EndRoot) squared = 5 and StartRoot 7 EndRoot is between 6 and 8.
StartRoot 7 EndRoot is greater than Four-fifths because Four-fifths is less than 1 and the square root of a number greater than 1 is greater than 1.
