Answer 1

The chord you described corresponds to an E7 chord.

Here’s the breakdown:
- Second finger on the fifth string, second fret (which is B).
- Third finger on the fourth string, second fret (which is E).
- The sixth string (E), third string (G), second string (B), and first string (E) are open.

This formation is characteristic of the E7 chord.
