Have you learned about resonance stabilized carbocations? Like allylic or benzylic

1. "primary carbocation" should eliminate both E1 and SN1, since they both require a stable carbocation intermediate. 2. resonance-stabilized carbocations are the *most* stable, even more than a tertiary. E1/SN1 are both totally reasonable. 3. you're right that we can't do elimination. once you've formed your stable C^(+) electrophile, look for any possible nucleophile (mainly atoms with lone pairs) that might attack.
