Final answer:

The correct answer is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking whether it is true or false that the structure has an unusually large dipole and the student needs to draw an aromatic resonance structure to explain the dipole. To draw an aromatic resonance structure, double bonds and/or lone pair electrons can be added to the structure. The presence of double bonds and lone pair electrons in a molecule can create an uneven distribution of charge, resulting in a dipole. Therefore, the correct answer is true.
