Predict the major product for the following reaction.

### Reaction Mechanism Exercise

#### Objective:
Modify the given copy of the starting material to draw the product of this reaction. Use the eraser tool to remove any unwanted atoms, and the single bond tool to interconvert between double and single bonds.

#### Reaction Scheme:
- **Starting Material:** A brominated alkene structure with a benzene ring on the left and a bromine group (Br) attached to an adjacent carbon atom.
- **Reagent:** DBU (1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene)
- **Reaction Arrow:** Points towards a question mark indicating the unknown product.

#### Tools:
- **Eraser Tool:** Used to remove unwanted atoms.
- **Single Bond Tool:** Used to change between double and single bonds.

#### Initial Structure (for Editing):
- Shows a brominated benzene with a two-carbon chain attached at the brominated carbon, featuring two methyl groups.

### Instructions:
Use the provided drawing tool to modify the molecule, demonstrating the expected transformation of the given reactant under the influence of DBU. Consider elimination reactions typical of such reagents when proposing the product structure.
