Based on the description provided, the following statements are true about the streets:

  1. First Street intersects with Second Street and Third Street. (True, as First Street is described as running diagonally through Second and Third Street.)

  2. Second Street and Third Street are parallel. (True, as described, they are lines that do not meet and are equal distances apart.)

  3. First Street is perpendicular to Second Street and Third Street. (This can generally be inferred to be true if First Street cuts across them at a right angle, depending on how it is shown in the image.)

The other statements would be false since:

  • Second Street is not perpendicular to Third Street as they are parallel.
  • First Street and Third Street are not described as parallel.

So, you can select the first two statements as definitely true, and possibly the last one depending on the visual cue regarding the angles shown in the image.
