Question
Lines l and m are horizontal and are intersected by lines p and q. At the intersection of lines l and p, the uppercase left angle is 130 degrees. At the intersection of lines q and l, the bottom right angle is 130 degrees. At the intersection of lines m and q, the uppercase right angle is 80 degrees.

To determine which lines are parallel based on the given angles at their intersections, let's analyze the situation step-by-step.
1. **Understanding the angles**:
- At the intersection of lines \(l\) and \(p\), we have an angle of \(130^\circ\). The corresponding angle on the opposite side of line \(p\) will be \(50^\circ\) (because \(180^\circ - 130^\circ = 50^\circ\)).
- At the intersection of lines \(q\) and \(l\), if the bottom right angle is \(130^\circ\), then the top left angle at the intersection of lines \(q\) and \(l\) is also \(50^\circ\).
- At the intersection of lines \(m\) and \(q\), we have the uppercase right angle of \(80^\circ\), which implies the corresponding acute angle on the left side must be \(100^\circ\) (since \(180^\circ - 80^\circ = 100^\circ\)).
2. **Identifying parallel lines based on given options**:
- First, consider **lines \(l\) and \(m\)**: We can see that their angles with lines \(p\) and \(q\) lead to the conclusion that they are not parallel since no corresponding or alternate interior angles are shown to be equal or supplementary with respect to respective lines intersecting them.
- Next, for **lines \(p\) and \(q\)**:
- The interior angles at their intersections with \(l\) are \(130^\circ\) and \(50^\circ\). Since the angles formed at one intersection also apply at the other, the same-side interior angles (the \(130^\circ\) angles) are not supplementary, nor do we have any pairs of alternate angles that reflect congruence across the setups provided.
3. **Verification of angle relationships**:
- If we had alternate exterior angles or alternate interior angles being equal, we might conclude that lines are parallel, but here none of that is the case for evaluated angles.
In our specific context, we understand that:
- **Lines \(p\) and \(q\) are not parallel** because the angles at their respective intersections with line \(l\) do not match up as would be required by properties of angle relationships with parallel lines. Same-side interior angles being supplementary implies parallelism, but here, such details are missing.
**Conclusion**:
Given all analyzed information on angles based on horizontal line interactions, there is no set of angles provided that conclusively shows means to determine parallelism amongst given lines. Thus, the statements you presented is not valid since:
- The angles do not set any \((p \parallel q)\) or \((l \parallel m)\).
- Since the relationships fall short, we can safely conclude that at least based on the angles stated **none of the provided lines might be specifically categorized as parallel with justification grounded on standard geometric relationships** as they do not satisfy criteria for parallel line angles.
The correct option from the given choices that would perhaps align with observed logic might be: **Lines l and m are parallel**—but not based strictly on same sided interior angles due to being supplementary. Hence, the justification is insufficient among other pairings of angles to confirm alternative pairs.
So:
- **Final Position**: None of the angles afforded in the orientation provided definitively illustrate parallelism congruently; all are open to reinterpretation or further geometrical and intersectional examination to yield clarity.
