Solution & Explanation
### Core Logic
Analyzing the mechanism:
1. Protonation (H^+$H^+$ attack) on the double bond occurs to generate the most stable intermediate carbocation.
2. The system forms a highly stable **tertiary (3^circ$3^\circ$) carbocation** at the bridge junction ring site.
3. Nucleophilic attack by bromide ion (Br^-$Br^-$) captures this bridge junction center selectively, yielding the major brominated structure designated as Structure (2).
### Step 1: Mechanism Breakdown

Electrophilic addition follows Markovnikov-like stability rules, directing the halide specifically to the bridgehead junction carbocation position.
### Pattern Recognition
Whenever adding hydrohalic acids across cyclic non-conjugated dienes or isolated double bonds, always convert the alkene into the most stable, un-strained tertiary carbocation before attaching the nucleophile.

### Core Logic
(A) Simple distillation is used to separate a mixture of miscible liquids with a sufficiently large difference in their boiling points, such as chloroform and aniline. (A rightarrow$\rightarrow$ IV)
(B) Fractional distillation is used to separate crude oil fractions. (B rightarrow$\rightarrow$ III)
(C) Steam distillation is used to separate steam-volatile substances that are immiscible with water, like an aniline-water mixture. (C rightarrow$\rightarrow$ II)
(D) Distillation under reduced pressure is used for liquids that decompose at or below their normal boiling points, like separating glycerol from spent lye. (D rightarrow$\rightarrow$ I)
