Answers:

No spin-spin coupling is observed if
  1. protons are separated by four or more single bonds i.e.,
      H-C-C-C-H
  2. protons are equivalent, i.e.,
      tertiary butyl bromide
If you came up with a different answer, then you should review the material once more, starting at page 90!
All the examples that we have covered so far dealt only with the spin-spin coupling between one group of equivalent protons with only one other group of equivalent protons.
However, what happens if a group of protons interacts with two neighboring groups of equivalent protons?

Try to determine the multiplicity of the signal for proton HA in the molecule
ClCH = CH - CH2Cl
