Marcus states that angle ORP and angle LRP are a linear pair. Which best describes his statement?

He is correct. The angles share a common vertex so they are a linear pair.
He is correct. The angles share a common ray so they are a linear pair.
He is incorrect. Angle ORP does not have a linear pair shown on the diagram.
He is incorrect. Ray RO and ray RL are not opposite rays.

Correct answer is D.

Two angles are linear pair if they are supplementary and share a leg.
∠ORP and ∠LRP are not supplementary, because ray RO and ray RL are not opposite rays.

Therefore, ∠ORP and ∠LRP are not linear pair.
