A horizontal line is intersected by two parallel lines lower s and lower t that slant from left to right forming eight angles.

If lines s and t are parallel, which pair of angles is supplementary and why?

The correct answer is:

∠G and ∠D because they are a linear pair.

This is because angles G and D are adjacent angles formed by the intersection of the horizontal line with lines s and t, making them a linear pair which means they are supplementary (their measures add up to 180 degrees).
