is it posssible to do a dehydrohalogenation of Cl using KOH, ethanol instead of NaNH2, NH3. for example:

 

CH3-CH2-CL-C (double bond) CH-CH3 ----> CH3CH2C(triple Bond)CH

 

 

On the midterm, i put KOH, ethanol, but i got it marked incorrect and the right answer was NaNH2, NH3...but when i read the book, it said either NaNH2, NH3 or KOH, ethanol is possible? somebody help me out here?
