How does the chemical reactivity change as we move from left to right across a period in the periodic table?

Red hot carbon will remove oxygen from the oxides $XO$ and $YO$ but not from $ZO$. $Y$ will remove oxygen from $XO$. Use this evidence to deduce the order of activity of the three metals $X, Y$ and $Z$ putting the most active first.
