Here's what I get.

Explanation:

Step 1. Draw a continuous chain of eight carbon atoms

8C

Step 2. Insert a triple bond between #"C2"# and #"C3"#

TB

Step 3. Add an ethyl group to #"C4"#

4Et

And you have your bond-line structure.

Here's one way to write the condensed structure:

#"CH"_3"CH"_2"CH"_2"CH"_2"CH"("CH"_2"CH"_3)"C≡CCH"_3#
