Answer 1

Drawing transversal is the first step of the construction : A line parallel to HJ through point N

Explanation:

To draw a perpendicular line at any point we need to draw an altitude at that point or angle of 90°

So, to draw a perpendicular line we do not need to construct a transversal at that point so drawing transversal can not be the step of construction : A line perpendicular to HJ through point N

But to construct two parallel lines : we need a transversal because by making equal corresponding angles two lines made be parallel.

Hence, Drawing transversal is the first step of the construction : A line parallel to HJ through point N
