Here is the exact question: Draw all stereoisomers of 4-bromo-2-pentene. Position the groups attached to the double bond (120° bond angles) to indicate its stereochemistry. Don't use bold wedges, hashed wedges, or squiggly or criss-cross bonds to indicate double-bond stereochemistry. Do use bold and hashed wedges to indicate the configuration at C(sp3) stereocenters.

I'm on my 10th try on this question and it's driving me crazy. I put the two groups on both sides of the double bond at 120 degrees and I made one compound with the bromine going in and one with the bromine going out. That didn't work...all the computer told me was "Please indicate the proper stereochemistry at all stereocenters"
So I thought about the methy group next to the bromine and made a compound with that going in and going out in combination with the bromine. That didn't work either, so now I keep trying different things in the hope that I will figure out the correct answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
