Answer 1

To copy angle ∠BAC, the correct response would involve the following steps:

1. **Using a compass, measure the distance from point A to point B.** This means that you place the pointed end of the compass on point A and adjust the compass to the distance to point B.

2. **Using the same compass width, place the pointed end on point Q (the new vertex for the copied angle) and draw an arc.** This arc will intersect the line extending from Q.

3. **Next, measure the distance from point A to point C (the next point defining the angle).** Then, use that measurement to create another arc from point Q that intersects the previous arc.

4. **Finally, use a straight edge to draw lines from point Q through the intersection points to complete the angle.**

So the most appropriate choice from the given responses would include starting with measuring the distance from points related to the original angle and constructing arcs and lines as described in these steps.

Note that if the wording seems to repeat with variations (like 'upper' symbols), they refer back to the same points and directions as stated above, so clarity in points is crucial when referencing constructions.
