What is your initial compound? if it is an alkene you could use HCl if its an alkane you could use Cl2 in UV light

so your initial product probably looks like this right?

            CH3      CH3
              |            |
H3C  -     C     =     C    -CH2CH3

Fishy was given the product it's asking him/her for possible reactants to get that.  I guess at this point, just combine what Vanquished has given you for the answer.  As in, what is directly above + HCl.  Common addition reaction worked backwards.
