Answer:

line 1 intersects line 4

Explanation:

If line 2 intersects 1 and 3, but 1 does not intersect 3, then lines 1 and 3 are parallel.

Similarly, if line 3 intersects lines 2 and 4, but 2 does not intersect 4, then lines 2 and 4 area parallel.

If 1 and 3 are parallel, and 2 and 4 are parallel, then the fact that 2 intersects 3 means 1 intersects 4.
