Problem
Two straight roads are represented by straight lines r and s on a city map. They meet at the traffic signal S. A student claims that they also meet at the bus stop B, 500 m away on both roads. Which statement best evaluates the student’s claim?
(a) The claim is correct only if the roads are parallel
(b) The claim is impossible because two distinct straight lines cannot share two points
(c) The claim is always true because real roads may curve
(d) The claim is possible only if both straight lines are actually the same line
