# Explanation:
## Step1: Analyze $ m\angle1 = m\angle8 $
$\angle1$ and $\angle8$ are not related by parallel line properties (since $a\parallel b$ but $\angle1$ and $\angle8$ don't form corresponding, alternate interior, etc., angles). So this is false.
## Step2: Analyze $ m\angle1 = m\angle12 $
$\angle1$ and $\angle12$ are vertical angles? No, but since $a\parallel b$ and the transversal, but $c$ is not parallel. Wait, actually, $\angle1$ and $\angle12$ are not related. Wait, no—wait, $\angle1$ and $\angle4$ are vertical, $\angle5$ and $\angle8$ are vertical, etc. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, $a\parallel b$, so $\angle1$ and $\angle5$ are corresponding? No, $c$ is not parallel to $a$ or $b$. Wait, the transversal for $a$ and $b$ is the same line. Wait, the line cutting $a$, $b$, $c$ is one transversal. So for $a\parallel b$, $\angle3$ and $\angle7$ are alternate interior, $\angle1$ and $\angle5$ are corresponding, etc. Now, $\angle1$ and $\angle12$: $\angle12$ is vertical to $\angle10$, and $\angle1$ and $\angle5$ are corresponding (since $a\parallel b$), but $\angle5$ and $\angle10$ are... Wait, maybe not. Wait, let's check $m\angle3 = m\angle7$: since $a\parallel b$, $\angle3$ and $\angle7$ are alternate interior angles, so $m\angle3 = m\angle7$ (true). Now, $m\angle1 = m\angle12$: $\angle1$ and $\angle4$ are vertical, $\angle12$ and $\angle10$ are vertical. But $a$ and $c$ are not parallel, $b$ and $c$ are not parallel, so $\angle1$ and $\angle12$ don't have to be equal. Wait, no—wait, the first option: $m\angle1 = m\angle8$: $\angle8$ is vertical to $\angle5$, and $\angle1$ and $\angle5$ are corresponding (since $a\parallel b$), so $m\angle1 = m\angle5 = m\angle8$ (because $\angle5$ and $\angle8$ are vertical angles, so $m\angle5 = m\angle8$, and $\angle1$ and $\angle5$ are corresponding angles, so $m\angle1 = m\angle5$). So $m\angle1 = m\angle8$ is true? Wait, I messed up earlier. $\angle1$ and $\angle5$ are corresponding (since $a\parallel b$), so $m\angle1 = m\angle5$. $\angle5$ and $\angle8$ are vertical angles, so $m\angle5 = m\angle8$. Thus, $m\angle1 = m\angle8$ (true). Then $m\angle3 = m\angle7$: since $a\parallel b$, $\angle3$ and $\angle7$ are alternate interior angles, so $m\angle3 = m\angle7$ (true). Now, $m\angle1 = m\angle12$: $\angle12$ is vertical to $\angle10$, and $\angle1$ and $\angle5$ are corresponding, but $\angle5$ and $\angle10$ are not related (since $b$ and $c$ are not parallel), so $m\angle1
eq m\angle12$ (false). $m\angle5 = m\angle9$: $b$ and $c$ are not parallel, so $\angle5$ and $\angle9$ are not corresponding or alternate interior, so false.
## Step3: Analyze $m\angle3 = m\angle7$
Since $a\parallel b$, and the transversal cuts them, $\angle3$ and $\angle7$ are alternate interior angles. By the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem, alternate interior angles are equal when lines are parallel. So $m\angle3 = m\angle7$ (true).
## Step4: Re - check $m\angle1 = m\angle8$
$\angle1$ and $\angle5$ are corresponding angles ( $a\parallel b$ ), so $m\angle1 = m\angle5$. $\angle5$ and $\angle8$ are vertical angles, so $m\angle5 = m\angle8$. By transitivity, $m\angle1 = m\angle8$ (true). Wait, earlier I thought it was false, but that was a mistake. Let's correct: $\angle1$ and $\angle5$ are corresponding (since $a\parallel b$, same transversal), so $m\angle1 = m\angle5$. $\angle5$ and $\angle8$ are vertical angles (opposite each other when two lines intersect), so $m\angle5 = m\angle8$. Thus, $m\angle1 = m\angle8$ is true. And $m\angle3 = m\angle7$ is also true (alternate interior angles for $a\parallel b$). What about $m\angle5 = m\angle9$? $b$ and $c$ are not parallel, so $\angle5$ and $\angle9$ are not related by parallel line theorems, so false. $m\angle1 = m\angle12$: $\angle12$ is with line $c$, $a$ and $c$ are not parallel, so no, false.

# Answer:
$m\angle1 = m\angle8$, $m\angle3 = m\angle7$ (the correct options are the ones with $m\angle1 = m\angle8$ and $m\angle3 = m\angle7$)
