A. Angle 1 and Angle 5
B. Angle 5 and Angle 3
C. Angle 4 and Angle 5
D. Angle 4 and Angle 1

In the scenario you described, with a vertical line intersecting a horizontal line and a diagonal line creating 5 angles, let's analyze the relationships between the angles:

1. The angles formed at the intersection of the horizontal and diagonal line (the angles you labeled) will create pairs of angles that are either vertical or supplementary.
2. Since angle 2 is 90 degrees, it is a right angle and forms linear pairs with the adjacent angles.

Now let's check the angles for supplementary pairs:
- **Angle 1 and Angle 5**: These angles typically share only one side, and thus they do not add to 180 degrees.
- **Angle 5 and Angle 3**: These angles do not also form a linear pair.
- **Angle 4 and Angle 5**: These are adjacent angles that will sum to 90 degrees plus angle 4, so they are not supplementary.
- **Angle 4 and Angle 1**: Angle 1 is adjacent to angle 4, and like the others, they do not sum to 180 degrees.

Since Angle 5 will be 90 degrees (right angle) and angle 3 must add with angle 5 and supplement it to make 180 because they are straight line angles on the same straight line, the correct answer would be **B. Angle 5 and Angle 3** as supplementary angles.
