1. e : To guarantee congruence, you need some information that either proves JEY and KEL are straight lines, that KJ and YL are congruent, or that angles ∠KEJ and ∠YEL are congruent.
If JEY and KEL are straight lines, then ∠KEJ and ∠YEL are opposite angles and congruent by the congruence of opposite angles, and the triangles are congruent by SAS. If JEY and KEL are not straight lines, then ∠KEJ and ∠YEL are not necessarily congruent.
2. b. Congruent by SAS since SL is common to both triangles and is congruent to itself.
