To me all of these are correct.

1 I don’t know what advantages in knowing English are.

2 I don’t know what advantages in knowing English are good.

3 I don’t know what advantages are in knowing English.

4 I don’t know what the advantages are in knowing English.

5 I don’t know what advantages in knowing English she likes are.

But I doubt that all of them are correct in reality. What's your take?

Hi, Me_IV—What is it that you are trying to say? All the sentences are grammatically possible, but (1) and (3) have one meaning, (4) has another, (2) has yet another, and (5) has another meaning still. Before you ask me to explain all the meanings to you, do your best to tell me what you think they are.
