The lines that must be parallel in each figure includes

18. lines x and y

20. lines l, m, and n then a and b

21. a and b

How to identify the parallel lines

Parallel lines have a special property when intersected by a transversal.

If angles formed by the transversal and the 2 or more lines are equal then the lines are parallel

18. line x and line y formed equal intersecting angle with line z

19. None of the angles are common to a transversal line hence the angle must not be equal

20. lines l and n have equal angles through b and line n and m share equal angles through a. Hence lines l, m and n are parallel.

Through line n, we can say that line a and b are parallel

21. lines a and b share equal intersecting angle through line n. No other relationship proves any other lines are parallel here
