I am using this code, but it's not working but xpath in the picture is correct. I am not allowed to use (//h2//a[@class='question-link'])[2] because I need to use previous webelement:

        driver.get("https://stackexchange.com/");
        WebElement e = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//h2//a[@class='question-link']"));
        WebElement f=e.findElement(By.xpath(".[2]"));
        System.out.println(f.getText());

Instead of again writing Webelement f write the complete xpath including [2] in Webelement e itself.

Here is an example in Python using Selenium to extract the text from the second link using a previous WebElement:

from selenium import webdriver

initialize the browser

driver = webdriver.Firefox()

navigate to the website

driver.get("https://www.example.com")

locate the previous WebElement

previous_element = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#element_id")

locate the second link relative to the previous WebElement

second_link = previous_element.find_elements_by_tag_name("a")[1]

extract the text from the second link

text = second_link.text

close the browser

driver.quit()

Note: Replace #element_id with the actual id of the previous WebElement and make sure to install the Selenium library if not already installed.
