Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

A bond line structure refers to any structure of a covalent molecule wherein the covalent bonds present in the molecule are represented with a single line for each level of bond order.

The bond-line structure of CH3CH2O(CH2)2CH(CH3)2 has been shown in the image attached. We know that oxygen has a lone pair of electrons and this has been clearly shown also in the image attached.
