What is the construction that needs to be done to make a copy of angle LJK?
Using a compass, measure the length from point J to K. Then, make another arc by placing the pointed end of the compass on point R and draw a small arc that intersects the larger arc above point Q.
Using a straight edge, construct a vertical line from point Q that intersects with the arc. Then find that angle's bisector.

To accurately describe the steps needed to construct a copy of angle \( LJK \) using a compass and straightedge, here’s the correct sequence of steps:
1. **Draw angle \( LJK \)**: Start with angle \( LJK \) that you want to copy.
2. **Select a point for the vertex of the new angle**: Choose a point \( R \) where you want to create the new angle.
3. **Using a compass, measure the length from point \( J \) to point \( K \)**: Place the compass point on \( J \) and adjust its width to point \( K \). This distance will be used to replicate this arc in the new angle.
4. **Draw an arc based on point \( R \)**: With the compass set to the length \( JK \), place the pointed end of the compass on point \( R \) and draw an arc that intersects the line extended from point \( R \) (this will be one side of your new angle).
5. **Label the intersection point**: Call the intersection point where the arc meets the line extended from \( R \) point \( Q \).
6. **Construct an arc from point \( Q \)**: Without changing the compass width, place the compass on \( K \) and draw an arc that intersects the arc drawn in step 4 at a new point.
7. **Finding the angle's bisector**: While the original instructions mention constructing a vertical line and finding the angle's bisector, we actually only need to construct a line from \( R \) through point \( Q \) at this point to complete the angle.
8. **Complete the angle**: Now, using a straight edge, connect point \( R \) to point \( Q \) and mark the intersection that forms angle \( RQK \).
9. **Copy the additional side \( LJ \)**: Finally, to ensure the angles are congruent, you would need to measure the distance \( JL \) and repeat the arc-drawing process through \( R \) as in previous steps.
By following these steps, you will have successfully constructed a copy of angle \( LJK \) at point \( R \).

Based on the steps I outlined, the correct answer to copy angle \( LJK \) is closely aligned with the following option (with some adjustments for clarity):
1. **Using a compass, measure the length from point \( J \) to \( K \)** (this is the width of the angle).
2. **Then, place the pointed end of the compass on point \( R \) and draw a small arc that crosses the line extending from \( R \)** (which will create an intersection point, let's call it \( Q \)).
3. **Using the same measurement from point \( J \) to \( K \), draw an arc from point \( Q \)** that intersects the previous arc.
4. **Using a straightedge, draw a line from point \( R \) through point \( Q \)** to complete the angle \( RQK \).
Thus, the focus should be primarily on copying the arc from \( JK \) and placing it appropriately relative to point \( R \) on the new angle, thereby replicating angle \( LJK \).
Overall, if we consolidate the tasks into a coherent series of movements suited for the construction, we simplify the instructions down to steps 1, 2, and 4 above.
So, your final answer is: **"Using a compass, measure the length from point J to K. Then, place the pointed end of the compass on point R and draw a small arc that intersects the larger arc above point Q."**
This captures the essence of the construction for copying angle \( LJK \).
