### Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy: Structure Determination

**Objective:**
Determine the structure of the compounds below from their spectroscopy data. Sketch the 'H-NMR spectra of the following compounds (a and b) and assign peaks to the structures.

### Compound Data:

#### a) \( \mathbf{C_8H_{10}} \)
- **1.2 δ** (3H, triplet)
- **2.6 δ** (2H, quartet)
- **7.1 δ** (5H, broad singlet)

#### b) \( \mathbf{C_4H_7BrO} \)
- **2.11 δ** (3H, singlet)
- **3.52 δ** (2H, triplet)
- **4.40 δ** (2H, triplet)

### Guidelines:

1. **Identify the Type of Protons:**
   - Triplet (t), Quartet (q), Singlet (s), and Broad Singlet (bs).

2. **Corresponding Chemical Shifts (δ):**
   - Assign the chemical shifts to their respective hydrogen environments.

3. **Sketch the 'H-NMR Spectra:**
   - Plot the 'H-NMR spectra for each compound using the provided data.

4. **Assign Peaks to the Structures:**
   - Match each chemical shift to its corresponding molecular environment in the chemical structure.

### Example Analysis for Compound a) \( \mathbf{C_8H_{10}} \):

1. **Chemical Shift Analysis:**
   - 1.2 δ (3H, triplet): Likely indicates a methyl group (CH3) adjacent to a CH2 group.
   - 2.6 δ (2H, quartet): Likely indicates a CH2 group adjacent to a methyl group and potentially aromatic ring.
   - 7.1 δ (5H, broad singlet): Suggests aromatic protons.

2. **Structure Sketch:**
   - Indicate the positions of the CH3, CH2, and aromatic protons.

### Example Analysis for Compound b) \( \mathbf{C_4H_7BrO} \):

1. **Chemical Shift Analysis:**
   - 2.11 δ (3H, singlet): Indicates a methyl group (CH3) not adjacent to any other hydrogens.
   - 3.52 δ (2
