Question

Choose the option that best represents parallel lines?

• A. A Book
• B. Cricket Ball
• C. Railway track
• D. Ice-cream cone

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Railway track

Sometimes it is helpful to think of parallel lines as a set of railroad tracks. The two sides of the track are created for the wheels on each side of the train to travel along. Because the wheels of the train are always the same distance apart - they do not get closer as they run - the tracks have to be the same distance apart everywhere.

In reality, railroad tracks are almost parallel.
