To determine which statement accurately represents the similarity between the two figures given the vertices \(A, B, C, D\) and \(E, F, G, H\), it is essential to understand the properties of similar figures.

  1. Quadrilateral ABCD ∼ quadrilateral EFGH - This suggests that the two quadrilaterals are similar and corresponds directly to each vertex from one quadrilateral to another.

  2. Quadrilateral ABCD ∼ quadrilateral HGFE - This suggests that the quadrilateral ABCD is similar to the quadrilateral HGFE, where the vertices in the second figure are in reverse order compared to their counterparts in the first figure.

  3. Quadrilateral DCBA ∼ quadrilateral GEFH - This suggests reversing the order of the vertices for ABCD to DCBA and could still represent similarity based on vertex correspondences.

  4. Quadrilateral DCBA ∼ quadrilateral HGFE - This also suggests a similarity but with the quadrilateral vertices in reverse order for each figure.

The correct answer often depends on the actual similarity of angles and lengths between the figures.

Based on the above options, the most common representations of similar figures typically keep the vertex naming consistent or partially consistent. Without loss of generality and given the similarity notation represents a direct correspondence, if the configuration or order of the vertices does not affect the angles in question, both options 2 and 4 can be valid under the right set of conditions.

However, without additional details, and keeping in mind that congruency may involve rotational symmetry, if figures are indeed the same in shape but merely have a different orientation, option 2 (quadrilateral ABCD ∼ quadrilateral HGFE) or option 4 (quadrilateral DCBA ∼ quadrilateral HGFE) seem to effectively represent the similarity condition.

If I were to recommend, it would strongly rely on the context, so please confirm if angles or specific dimensions are provided to help choose the most appropriate representation. If they maintain their relative proportions and angles, then "quadrilateral ABCD ∼ quadrilateral EFGH" is typically valid.
