Just to retire this question....
Explanation:
See this old answer. Epoxides are a good general way of lengthening a carbon chain by 2 carbons, by reaction with a lithium reagent or a Grignard.....
The carbon chain has been extended by two carbons, and as a bonus the end carbon is functionalized so that we can do further stuff.
