Answer:

EL/EF and OS/OJ

Explanation:

In the similar triangles, angle F and angle J have the same measure, so will have the same tangent. The tangent is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent one.

In ΔFEL, the desired ratio is ...

tan(F) = EL/EF . . . . . 2nd choice

In ΔJOS, the equivalent ratio is ...

tan(J) = tan(F) = OS/OJ . . . . . 7th choice
