Step-by-step solution
A tertiary alkyl halide with strong base undergoes elimination reaction, while a primary alkyl halide with t - butoxide gives ether by a substitution reaction. Alkenes undergo hydration (addition of water) by Hydroboration-Oxidation, giving anti-Markovnikov's products and by Oxymercuration-Demercuration, giving Markovnikov's products.
