remember this, protractor and ruler are NOT ALLOWED for constructions. so discard that option

So, you would use a compass!

NOt sure what your answer choises are, (if there are any) But that is the tool you would use

OpenStudy (redheadangel):

When constructing parallel lines with a compass and straightedge, how should you start the construction? Measure the length of the original line and make an arc. Create a line that intersects the given line with your straightedge. Open the compass to the width of the line and draw two arcs. Use a straightedge to create two arcs above and below the line. (or maybe this is what you're looking for)
