- D is the midpoint of AB, E is the midpoint of BC

Answer: A. Given

I left off DB||FC because that's not given. But we can construct it.

Construct line through C parallel to AB. Extend DE to intersect and call the meet F.

- DB || FC

By Construction

----

- Angle B congruent to angle FCE

Answer: D. Alternate Interior Angles

We have transversal BC across parallel lines AB and CF, so we get congruent angles ABC and FCB aka FCE

- angle BED congruent to angle CEF

Answer: H. Vertical angles are congruent

When we get lines meeting like this we get the usual congruent and supplementary angles.

- Triangle BED congruent to Triangle CEF

Answer: F. Angle Side Angle

We have BE=CE, DBE=FCE, BED=CEF

- DE congruent to FE and DB congruent to FC

Answer: C. CPTCTF

Corresponding parts ...

- AD congruent to DB and DB congruent to FC therefore AD congruent to FC

Answer: E. Transitive Property of Congruent

Things congruent to the same thing are congruent

- ADFC is a parallelogram

Answer: G. AD and FC are congruent and parallel

Presumably this is a theorem we have already established.

- DE || AD

Answer: B. Definition of a parallelogram
