B) $2,3,4,5,6$
C) $2,5,8,11,14$
D) $- 2 , - 5 , - 8 , - 11 , - 14$

To find the first five terms of the sequence $a_n = 3n - 1$, substitute $n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5$ into the formula. For $n = 1$, $a_1 = 3(1) - 1 = 2$. For $n = 2$, $a_2 = 3(2) - 1 = 5$. Continuing this pattern gives the sequence 2, 5, 8, 11, 14.
