Answer:

m∠2 = 35°

Explanation:

You want to know the measure of angle 2 when angle 1 is 35° and both angles 1 and 2 intercept arc PQ.

Same arc

Inscribed angles 1 and 2 both intercept the same arc: PQ. The problem statement tells you that such angles are equal.

∠2 = ∠1 = 35°

The measure of ∠2 is 35°.

Additional comment

This is a vocabulary and reading comprehension test.

In order to understand the comment and the question, you need to know the meaning of "inscribed angle", "intercept [an] arc", "equal" (as applied to angles). You also need to know the meaning of the notation m∠1, the measure of angle 1.

You pass the test when you understand the question is telling you that angles 1 and 2 are both 35°.
