Answer:

1. Given

2. Corresponding Angles Theorem

3. ∠NPO ≅ ∠MQN (or something similar)

4. AA Similarity Theorem

Explanation:

1. Line MQ || Line OP is the given statement.

2. ∠QNM on the left triangle corresponds to ∠PNO on the second triangle.

3. These two angles are cut by a transversal (Line MP), and thus are congruent.

4. ∠MQN and ∠NMQ are congruent to ∠NOP and ∠NPO respectively, so the triangles are similar.
