Detailed Solution

Elements in the expected order of increasing non- metallic character
IV < I < III < II < V .
From the data, I = Ge, II = S, III = Se, IV = Tl and V = F.
The metallic character of the elements increases down the group and decreases across the period from left to right. In a period, as you move from left to right, the non-metallic character gets stronger. So, F is the most non-metallic, and Tl is the least.
