Answer:

B) the lines never intersect

Explanation:

okay essentially, syllogism is formatted in a repetitive way

it's something like:

if "a" are "b"

and "b" are "c"

then "a" are "c"

(a = b

b = c

logically, c = a)

(idea, thing related to idea, conclusion relating the two)

hope this helps!!
