Correct! Euclid's famous work is called "Elements".
(5) A plane has:
(a) 0 dimensions (b) 1 dimension (c) 2 dimensions (d) 3 dimensions
Correct! A plane has 2 dimensions: length and breadth.
(6) Two distinct points in a plane can be joined by:
(a) One line (b) Two lines (c) Infinite lines (d) No line
Correct! Two distinct points determine exactly one line.
(7) Which of these is an example of parallel lines?
(a) Adjacent edges of a book (b) Railway tracks (c) Hands of a clock at 3 o'clock (d) Scissors' blades
Correct! Railway tracks are parallel lines that never meet.

Correct! Two distinct lines intersect at exactly one point.
(9) The edges of a ruler represent:
(a) Rays (b) Line segments (c) Lines (d) Curves
Correct! Ruler edges have definite endpoints, so they are line segments.
