Question

decide whether the following statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false). explain your reasoning. the two highways look like straight lines and they intersect twice. choose the correct answer below. a. the statement does not make sense because two straight lines are always parallel. b. the statement does not make sense because two straight lines cannot intersect more than once. c. the statement makes sense because two straight lines are always perpendicular. d. the statement makes sense because every two straight lines have to intersect at least once.

Explanation:

In geometry, two straight lines can either be parallel (no intersection), intersect at one point, or be coincident (infinite intersections). But two distinct straight lines cannot intersect at two different points. Option A is wrong as two straight lines aren't always parallel. Option C is wrong as two straight lines aren't always perpendicular. Option D is wrong as two straight lines can be parallel (no intersection).

Answer:

B. The statement does not make sense because two straight lines cannot intersect more than once.
