Question
Step 1: A horizontal line segment is drawn, with the endpoints labeled upper L and upper D, left to right. A pencil is shown above segment upper L upper D with its tip pointed towards the left of point upper D.
Step 2: A horizontal line segment upper L upper D is drawn left to right. A left-to-right slanted line intersects segment upper L upper D at point upper E. Point upper U is labeled on the line above and between upper L and upper D.
Step 3: Horizontal line segment upper L upper D is drawn left to right. A left-to-right slanted line intersects segment upper L upper D at point upper E and extends indefinitely in either direction.
Step 4: Horizontal line segment upper L upper D is drawn left to right. A left-to-right slanted line intersects segment upper L upper D at point upper E and extends indefinitely in either direction. Two arcs are drawn.
Determine the type of construction being done from the steps shown.

Based on the steps described, it appears that the construction is demonstrating how to create a pair of parallel lines through a point not on a given line.
Here's how we reason this:
- Steps 1 to 3 involve drawing a horizontal line segment (LD) and a slanted line (which we can infer defines some angle with respect to the horizontal).
- The pencil shown indicates that a specific angle is constructed at point E.
- Step 4, where two arcs are drawn, often represents that a process of creating parallels is being performed (i.e., through the intersection of the arcs).
Given this understanding, the most accurate description of the construction is **"parallel lines through a point not on the given line."**
