Answer 1

To identify the angle bisector of ∠PQR, we need to understand the configuration of points and lines mentioned.

In the setup:

- Q is the vertex of the angle ∠PQR.
- P and R lie on lines that diverge from point Q.
- C is a point on the line between P and R.

An angle bisector in geometry is a line that divides an angle into two equal angles. Thus, to determine the angle bisector of ∠PQR, we need to see which line segment is positioned such that it creates two equal angles between the segments QP and QR.

In this case, the line segment QC appears to connect point Q with point C, which is located on the angle's interior. Typically, in such configurations, the segment that touches the angle's interior and connects to the vertex is the angle bisector. Hence, segment QC would divide ∠PQR into two equal parts.

Therefore, the answer is:

**Line segment QC is the angle bisector of ∠PQR.**
