Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The three methods to convert ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{Br}$ to ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$ is to be proposed.

Concept introduction: The removal of two substituents from a molecule either in one step or in two steps is called an elimination reaction. In elimination reaction, abstraction of proton occurs to form an alkene.
