Given that \( \triangle PQR \sim \triangle JKL \), we can conclude that the corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion.

  1. The corresponding angles are as follows:

    • \( \angle P \) corresponds to \( \angle J \)
    • \( \angle Q \) corresponds to \( \angle K \)
    • \( \angle R \) corresponds to \( \angle L \)
  2. The corresponding sides are:

    • \( PQ \) corresponds to \( JK \)
    • \( QR \) corresponds to \( KL \)
    • \( PR \) corresponds to \( JL \)

Thus, let's evaluate each statement:

  1. Statement: \( \angle Q \cong \angle L \) and \( \overline{PQ} \) corresponds to \( \overline{JK} \).

    • Evaluation: Incorrect. \( \angle Q \) corresponds to \( \angle K \), not \( \angle L \).
  2. Statement: \( \angle P \cong \angle J \) and \( \overline{PQ} \) corresponds to \( \overline{JL} \).

    • Evaluation: Incorrect. While \( \angle P \) does correspond to \( \angle J \), \( \overline{PQ} \) corresponds to \( \overline{JK} \), not \( \overline{JL} \).
  3. Statement: \( \angle P \cong \angle J \) and \( \overline{QR} \) corresponds to \( \overline{JK} \).

    • Evaluation: Incorrect. While \( \angle P \cong \angle J \) is correct, \( \overline{QR} \) corresponds to \( \overline{KL} \).
  4. Statement: \( \angle Q \cong \angle K \) and \( \overline{PR} \) corresponds to \( \overline{JL} \).

    • Evaluation: Correct. \( \angle Q \cong \angle K \) is true, and \( \overline{PR} \) corresponds to \( \overline{JL} \).

Therefore, the correct statement is:

∠Q ≅ ∠K and PR corresponds to JL.
