The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, "A pair of opposite sides of a trapezium are ___________.", we need to understand the properties of a trapezium. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Trapezium**: A trapezium is a type of quadrilateral that has at least one pair of opposite sides that are parallel. 2. **Identifying the Sides**: In a trapezium, we can label the vertices as A, B, C, and D. The sides can be represented as AB, BC, CD, and DA. 3. **Understanding the Parallel Sides**: In a trapezium, the pair of opposite sides that are parallel can be either AB and CD or AD and BC, depending on how the trapezium is oriented. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct completion of the statement is: "A pair of opposite sides of a trapezium are parallel." ### Final Answer: A pair of opposite sides of a trapezium are **parallel**. ---
