This problem hinges on your understanding of the terms used, such as "alternative exterior angles." For deepest understanding of this problem, you may have to look up some of this vocabulary. I can tell you right off that the word "should" is inappropriate here and should not be part of one of the possible answers. Eliminate that possible answer and focus on the other three.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:) Love your strategies.. Therefore, "B" is eliminated.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

You can assume that the statement is true. You have four possible answers, and you have correctly eliminated one of them because it contained the word "should." Very good. We are to determine which of the remaining three statements is the INVERSE of the first (given) statement about alternative exterior angles. In this context, what does the word "INVERSE" mean?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

I've just done a quick Internet search for 'inverse statement' and have come up with the following link: http://www.mathwords.com/i/inverse_conditional.htm

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Please read the content you'll find at that URL. Does it agree with your "opposite"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Opposite- Yes, it agrees. I believe it's C.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

So do I. Nice work!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm worried I might be wrong :(

OpenStudy (mathmale):

why is that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nevermind, we're good . Thanks :)
