B, C, and E are all true statements.


When looking for congruence in these type of problems, you have to look for the order of the letters in the original listing. Since they are listed ABC and PQR, this means we have to focus on the placement of those letters. Since A is the first listed in the sequence, it is congruent with P, which is also listed first. B is congruent with Q since they are both in the middle, and C and R are congruent since they are both at the end.


Now to find true statements, you need to make sure everything matches up in the statement.


Let's take E for instance. It states that BC = QR. Now we know B is in the middle and C is at the end. Since Q is in the middle and R is at the end, they match and are therefore true.
