Answer:
23) insufficient number of corresponding sides/angles
24) insufficient number of corresponding sides/angles
Explanation:
In general, you need at least 3 corresponding parts to show triangle congruence. At least one of those must be a side. The attachment shows the ways triangles can be declared congruent. (HL works for right triangles, because we know the right angles are congruent to each other.)

23) A side is shown congruent (KL ≅ GH), and we know the vertical angles at J are congruent. However, we need another angle before we can declare the ∆GHJ congruent to anything. (One more side doesn't do it, because the two sides would not be on either side of the angle at J.)
Reason: insufficient data

24) A side is shown congruent (MP ≅ QS), and an angle is shown congruent (∠M ≅ ∠Q). As in the previous problem, we need at least one more angle, or we need to know that MN ≅ QR before we can declare the triangles congruent.
Reason: insufficient data
