The following is an incomplete paragraph proving that ∠WRS ≅ ∠VQT, given the information in the figure where segment UV is parallel to segment WZ.:

According to the given information, segment UV is parallel to segment WZ while angles SQU and VQT are vertical angles. Angle VQT is congruent to angle SQU by the Vertical Angles Theorem. Because angles SQU and WRS are _____________ angles, they are congruent according to the ____________ Angles Postulate. Finally, angle VQT is congruent to angle WRS by the Transitive Property of Equality.

Which term accurately completes the proof?

1.Alternate interior
2.Corresponding
3.Same-side interior
4.Vertical

When two parallel lines are crossed by another line (called the transversal), there are formed 8 angles: among them angles SQU and WRS are called corresponding and they are congruent according to the Corresponding Angles Postulate.

Answer: Correct choice is B.
