✓
Answer
Steps for construction:
$1.$Draw a line $AB.$
$2.$Take a point $P$ outside $AB$ and another point $O$ on $AB.$
$3.$Draw $PO.$
$4.$Draw $\angle\text{FPO}$ such that $\angle\text{FPO}$ is equal to $AOP.$
$5.$Extend $FP$ to $E.$
Then, the line $EF$ passes through the point $P$ and $EF \| AB.$
