Expert Solution
Step 1

The given molecule is:

Chemistry homework question answer, step 1, image 1

In proton NMR, the spinning hydrogen nuclei will interact with the other nuclei and causes splitting of the the peaks in the NMR spectrum.

By using this splitting pattern, the type of bonding involved in the molecule can be determined.

If a set of hydrogens has "n" neighbouring non-equivalent hydrogens then it will be split into (n+1) peaks.

Step 2

For the indicated protons in the given molecule

surrounding to that two protons, there are three protons in the -CH3 group.

So, the multiplet is (3+1)=4.
