Answer:

Angle N is congruent to Angle Q.

Explanation:

If triangles MNO and PQR are similar, then the corresponding sides are propotional and the corresponding angles are congruent.

  • Angle M corresponds to Angle P.
  • Angle N corresponds to Angle Q.
  • Angle O corresponds to Angle R.

So, we know by gvein that angles O and R are congruent. We only need another angle congruence to use the AA postulate of similarity.

Therefore, the right answer is the second choices, because Angle N must be congruent to Angle Q.
