point in plane H. Since MN belongs to the plane H all the points on MN must also belong to
plane H while point L does not belong to plane H.
Choice 2 is correct since two points define a line, and so any two points are collinear.
Choice 3 is not correct since M, N, I, and L cannot be coplanar. I belongs to plane G. LN is the
intersection of plane G with the plane defined by points M, N, and L. Since I does not belong to
that line of intersection LN , then I does not belong to the plane defined by points M, N, and L.
Choices 4 and 5 are correct since any two points are coplanar, and three points define a plane.

Solution: 1345
Choice 1 is correct. Both rays have the same end point and they extend in the same direction on
the same line. So the names describe the same ray.
Choice 2 is not correct because the two rays have different endpoints.
Choice 3 is correct because D is between A and G.
Choice 4 is correct because A, D, and the points between D and A are common points to both rays
AG and DA .
Choice 5 is correct because D is the only point common to both rays AG and CH .

Choices 4 and 5 are not correct since V, Y, and W are not collinear.
Therefore, you must enter 1 followed by 2 followed by 3.
