A line segment has 2 end points. The left end point is A, and the right is B. A geometric compass is shown with the compass needle on point A and the pencil of the compass placed about two thirds of the way along line segment A B.

Two arcs are bisected by line segment A B. The arcs intersect at points C above the midpoint of A B and D below the midpoint of A B. A line is drawn from point C to D through the midpoint, M, of A B forming a right angle.

A solid line segment with two end points, X and Y, is shown. A dashed vertical line segment is also shown perpendicular to the segment X Y, intersecting it approximately one fourth of the distance between X and Y.

To identify which diagram represents a step in constructing a perpendicular line that is not a perpendicular bisector, we need to consider the descriptions provided:
1. The first image describes placing a compass needle at point A, which would typically be part of constructing a perpendicular line, but it does not specify the perpendicularity of any line constructed.
2. The second image involves placing the compass needle at point B and could also be part of constructing a perpendicular line. Similar to the first, it does not indicate that it's being bisected.
3. The third image describes two arcs being drawn, which intersect at points C and D, leading to the creation of a perpendicular through the midpoint M. This step is related to perpendicular bisectors as it specifically mentions bisecting the line segment.
4. The fourth image shows a solid line segment X and Y with a dashed vertical line segment intersecting it. The indication that this segment is perpendicular and not bisecting the line XY suggests that this represents constructing a perpendicular line that is not a bisector.
Based on the descriptions, the fourth diagram best represents a step in constructing a perpendicular line that is not a perpendicular bisector.
