Comment and Answer

This is a very well laid out proof. It would good for you to see how carefully this this proof has been set up.

Step Three says

DE = DF ÷ 2

The problem is that at least 2 of the choices will work. I think the best reason is that it is the definition of bisect. The previous statement says in language what statement three says in algebraic notation. So statement 2 is the given statement. Statement 3 tells us that DE is 1/2 DF because it is bisected.
