**E2 Reaction Product Drawing Exercise**

**Instructions:**

1. **Task:** Draw the product of the E2 reaction depicted below. 
2. **Note:** Disregard any inorganic byproducts.

**Reaction Details:**

- **Substrate:** A linear alkyl chain with a bromine atom attached to a carbon at the end.
- **Reagent:** Sodium methoxide (CH₃ONa), a strong base.

**Diagram Explanation:**

- **Reactant Structure:** The structural formula shows a straight-chain hydrocarbon with a bromine (Br) atom attached to the last carbon.
- An arrow indicates the transformation expected as a result of the reaction with the base, CH₃ONa.

**Output Area:**

- **Drawing Box:** The red dashed rectangle is where the expected product's structure should be drawn.

**Objective:** Use your understanding of E2 elimination reactions to identify and sketch the correct product, considering the removal of the hydrogen atom and the bromine atom to create a double bond in the alkyl chain.
