B) Use the straightedge to draw a line that passes through point M.

C) Place the point of the compass on point M and draw an arc, making sure the width of the compass opening is less than 1/2MN.

D) Place the point of the compass on point M and draw an arc, making sure the width of the compass opening is greater than 1/2MN.

Answer 1

1 step: Place the point of the compass on point M and draw an arc, making sure the width of the compass opening is greater than 1/2MN.

2 step: Place the point of the compass on point N and draw an arc that has the same radius as previous one.

3 step: Connect two points of intersection of drawn arcs. Obtained line will be bisector.
