A. A line has one dimension.
B. A plane has two dimensions.
C. A circle can be drawn with any radius and at any point.
D. Two distinct lines can pass through a point in the same direction.

Answer

2. Answer demonstrates understanding of geometrical axioms and their relation with real-world.
● A dot in the map is for representational purpose.
● Dot is used only to show the location of the city, not its area.
3. D. Two distinct lines can pass through a point in the same direction.
