Hello! I think my thinking is right, but I would love some clarification for this question. I think major product has two alkenes, but wasn't sure how to go about the other OH, if it is internal nucelophilic attack, for examplequestion.png

I originally thought one product would be result of formation good LG, then E1 elimination to alkene. When tertiary carbocation forms, could other OH group attack electrophile?
