Question:
Which of the following statements is false?
(a) Through a given point, only one straight line can be drawn.
(b) Through two given points, it is possible to draw one and only one straight line.
(c) Two straight lines can intersect at only one point.
(d) A line segment can be produced to any desired length.
Solution:
(a) Through a given point, only one straight line can be drawn.
Clearly, statement (a) is false because we can draw infinitely many straight lines through a given point.
