Answer 1

The correct response is:

∠G and ∠D because they are a linear pair.

A linear pair consists of two adjacent angles that add up to 180 degrees. In this case, if lines s and t are parallel and the horizontal line intersects them, angles G and D are on a straight line, making them supplementary.
