The correct response is:
∠G and ∠D because they are a linear pair.
Linear pairs of angles are two adjacent angles that form a straight line. Since lines s and t are parallel and the horizontal line intersects them, ∠G and ∠D are adjacent and their measures add up to 180°, making them supplementary.
