I give medals to whoever helps me!!!

Tess follows the following steps to draw a line KR which is parallel to segment PQ and passes through a point R outside PQ.

Step 1: Draw a line from R intersecting PQ at point J.
Step 2: Draw an arc from J so that it intersects JQ at L and JR at M.
Step 3: Increase the compass width and draw a similar arc from R which intersects RJ at T.
Step 4: Draw an arc from point T which intersects the arc through R at point K. Join K and R.

Which is the first incorrect step?

Step 1

Step 3

Step 4

Step 2

step 3 is wrong.....you draw the arc without changing the opening of the compass
