Solution

(i) Line segment: The straight path between two points is called a line segment.
(ii) Ray: A line segment when extended indefinitely in one direction is called a ray.
(iii) Intersecting Lines: Two lines meeting at a common point are called intersecting lines, i.e., they have a common point.
(iv) Parallel Lines: Two lines in a plane are said to be parallel, if they have no common point, i.e., they do not meet at all.
(v) Half-line: A ray without its initial point is called a half-line.
(vi) Concurrent lines: Three or more lines are said to be concurrent, if they intersect at the same point.
(vii) Collinear points: Three or more than three points are said to be collinear, if they lie on the same line.
(viii) Plane: A plane is a surface such that every point of the line joining any two points on it, lies on it.
