Benzylic radicals, due to the adjacent benzene ring, have even greater possibility for de-localization than allylic radicals.

Question:

Benzylic radicals, due to the adjacent benzene ring, have even greater possibility for de-localization than allylic radicals. Draw contributing resonance structures that show this delocalization for the benzylic radical derived from methylbenzene. (Hint: There are four contributing resonance structures for this benzylic radical.)
