In a parallelogram, opposite sides are congruent. Since \( VSTU \) is a parallelogram, the segment that is congruent to \( \overline{VE} \) depends on how point \( E \) is defined in relation to the parallelogram.
However, assuming \( E \) is a point connected to the vertices of the parallelogram, if \( VE \) is connected to point \( V \) in the context of the quadrilateral \( VSTU \), the congruent segment would likely be one of the segments from the opposite vertices.
If \( E \) refers to a segment from vertex \( V \) to point \( E \):
- The segment that must be congruent to \( \overline{VE} \) would be \( \overline{SU} \) (the opposite side).
If we consider the responses provided, and based on the pairs of segments available:
The segment \( \overline{VS} \) (since it's from \( V \) to adjacent vertex \( S \)), might not be congruent.
The segments to specify would be \( \overline{SE} \) or \( \overline{UT} \) as two instances based on the arrangement of point \( E \).
Since we lack the precise location of point \( E \), just ensure:
- If \( E \) is along a certain line \( VS \) or between specific points, it could differ.
- In a general case, the opposite segment is likely the congruent one.
Please confirm the placement of point \( E \) for an accurate response. Based on common properties, potentially \( \overline{SU} \) may be inferred as a congruent segment, if not then \( \overline{VS} \) or adjustments to \( E \) can infer the relationship needed.
