Let's address each of your questions one by one.

1. **Sum of Angles L and M in Parallelogram:**
Angles L and M are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, the sum of their measures is **180°**.

2. **Finding the value of x:**
We know that angles A C E and E C B are vertical angles. Therefore, they are equal:
\[
2x + 2 = 5x + 3.
\]
Now solve for x:
\[
2 = 3x + 3,
\]
\[
-1 = 3x,
\]
\[
x = -\frac{1}{3}.
\]
Since this result does not match any of the possible answers you've provided, it seems there may be an error in the interpretation of angles. Please check that the angles are set up correctly for the relationship.

3. **Relationship Between Angles A and B in Triangle ABC:**
In triangle ABC, since it is a right triangle:
- Angle A + Angle B + Angle C = 180°.
- Given angle C is 90°, Angle A + Angle B = 90°.
- Therefore, Angles A and B are **complementary**.

4. **Describing the Measures of Angles 1 and 2:**
Since angles 1 and 2 form a right angle (which measures 90 degrees), they are **complementary**.

5. **Missing Reason in Proof for Angle DCB and Angle ECA:**
The missing reason in step 5 should relate to how Angle BCE is supplementary to Angle ECA due to being part of a linear pair. Therefore, the correct option is **congruent complements theorem**.
