Answer 1

The reason given is:

`\text{exterior }\angle=\text{ sum of remote interior }\angle^(\prime)s`

This means that an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the non adjacent interior angles.

In this case the non adjacent angles are 2 and 3, then the statement will be:

`\angle1=\angle2+\angle3`

hence the answer is the first option.
