I don't get coplanar points? (See attached picture) I know from the back of the book that 1. B and 2. D and 3. B. No clue how they got there, though.

Coplanar points means that they belong to the same plane. Imagine four points make up a tetrahedron, they are then not coplanar. If they are coplanar, they would make a flat solid with no volume. 1. KOGE makes a nice tetrahedron (tent-shaped), so they are not coplanar. 2. GOH happens to be the intersection of a vertical and the horizontal plane, so the three points belong to more than one plane. 3. E and JK form a triangle, which can only belong to a single plane. A line can belong to more than one plane because if could be the intersection of two planes.
