Use a compass and straight edge to create a line parallel to line AB through a point E that is not on line AB. First, draw a line from point E that crosses line AB, and label the intersection point C. Which step comes next?

- Set the compass point on A and draw an arc of any size across line .
- Move the compass point to the upper arc and mark off an arc, creating point D.
- Set the compass width to the width of the arc that crosses line .
- Place the point of the compass on C and draw an arc that crosses both lines.
