# Brief Explanations:
1. **Angle ACE supplementary to angle BCD?**
   Given ∠ACD is supplementary to ∠ACE and ∠BCD. Supplementary angles have the same supplement, so ∠ACE and ∠BCD are supplementary (since both are supplementary to ∠ACD).
2. **Angle BCE supplementary to angle ACE?**
   ∠ACD ≅ ∠BCE (given), and ∠ACD is supplementary to ∠ACE (given). Thus, ∠BCE (congruent to ∠ACD) is also supplementary to ∠ACE.
3. **Angle BCD supplementary to angle BCE?**
   ∠ACD ≅ ∠BCE (given), and ∠ACD is supplementary to ∠BCD (given). So ∠BCD is supplementary to ∠BCE (congruent to ∠ACD).
4. **Angle ACE congruent to ∠BCE?**
   ∠ACD ≅ ∠BCE (given), but ∠ACE and ∠ACD are supplementary (not necessarily congruent), so this is false.
5. **Angle BCD congruent to ∠ACE?**
   ∠ACD ≅ ∠BCE (given), and ∠ACD is supplementary to ∠BCD (so ∠BCD = 180°−∠ACD). ∠ACE is also supplementary to ∠ACD (∠ACE = 180°−∠ACD), so ∠BCD ≅ ∠ACE. Wait, but earlier steps: Wait, recheck. Wait, ∠ACD is supplementary to ∠BCD (∠ACD + ∠BCD = 180°) and ∠ACD is supplementary to ∠ACE (∠ACD + ∠ACE = 180°). Thus, ∠BCD = ∠ACE (both 180°−∠ACD). So this is true? Wait, but the initial three: Wait, the options: Let's re-express:

Wait, the correct three (from analysis):
- Angle ACE is supplementary to angle BCD (true, same supplement to ∠ACD).
- Angle BCE is supplementary to angle ACE (true, ∠BCE ≅ ∠ACD, and ∠ACD + ∠ACE = 180°).
- Angle BCD is supplementary to angle BCE (true, ∠BCE ≅ ∠ACD, and ∠ACD + ∠BCD = 180°).
- Angle BCD is congruent to angle ACE (true, both 180°−∠ACD). Wait, but the problem says "select three". Wait, maybe my initial analysis was wrong. Wait, let's re-express all options:

1. ∠ACE supplementary to ∠BCD: True (both supplementary to ∠ACD, so they are equal? No, supplementary angles have sum 180°, but if two angles are supplementary to the same angle, they are equal? Wait, no: If ∠A + ∠B = 180° and ∠A + ∠C = 180°, then ∠B = ∠C (supplements of the same angle are equal). So ∠ACE and ∠BCD are equal (supplementary? Wait, no: Supplementary means sum to 180°, but if two angles are supplementary to the same angle, they are equal (not supplementary to each other). Wait, wait! Critical mistake: Supplementary angles sum to 180°. If ∠ACD + ∠ACE = 180° (supplementary) and ∠ACD + ∠BCD = 180° (supplementary), then ∠ACE = 180°−∠ACD and ∠BCD = 180°−∠ACD. Thus, ∠ACE = ∠BCD (they are equal, not supplementary to each other). Oh! Here's the mistake: Supplementary angles sum to 180°, but if two angles are both supplementary to the same angle, they are congruent (equal), not supplementary. Wait, this is the key error!

Oh no! I confused "supplementary to the same angle" with "supplementary to each other". Let's correct:

- If ∠X + ∠Y = 180° and ∠X + ∠Z = 180°, then ∠Y = ∠Z (they are congruent, not supplementary to each other). So ∠ACE and ∠BCD are congruent (equal), not supplementary. So my initial analysis was wrong.

Let's restart:

Given:
- ∠ACD is supplementary to ∠ACE (∠ACD + ∠ACE = 180°)
- ∠ACD is supplementary to ∠BCD (∠ACD + ∠BCD = 180°)
- ∠ACD ≅ ∠BCE (∠ACD = ∠BCE)

Now analyze each option:

1. ∠ACE supplementary to ∠BCD: ∠ACE + ∠BCD = (180°−∠ACD) + (180°−∠ACD) = 360°−2∠ACD. This is only 180° if ∠ACD = 90°, which is not given. So this is false.

2. ∠BCE supplementary to ∠ACE: ∠BCE = ∠ACD (given), so ∠ACD + ∠ACE = 180° (given). Thus, ∠BCE + ∠ACE = 180° (since ∠BCE = ∠ACD). So this is true.

3. ∠BCD supplementary to ∠BCE: ∠BCE = ∠ACD (given), and ∠ACD + ∠BCD = 180° (given). Thus, ∠BCD + ∠BCE = 180° (since ∠BCE = ∠ACD). So this is true.

4. ∠ACE congruent to ∠BCE: ∠ACE = 180°−∠ACD, ∠BCE = ∠ACD. These are equal only if ∠ACD = 90°, not given. False.

5. ∠BCD congruent to ∠ACE: ∠BCD = 180°−∠ACD, ∠ACE = 180°−∠ACD. Thus, ∠BCD = ∠ACE. So this is true.

Now, the true options are:
- Option 2: ∠BCE supplementary to ∠ACE (true)
- Option 3: ∠BCD supplementary to ∠BCE (true)
- Option 5: ∠BCD congruent to ∠ACE (true)

Wait, but earlier mistake was confusing "supplementary to the same angle" with "supplementary to each other". Let's verify with the given info:

- ∠ACD is supplementary to ∠ACE (so they add to 180°)
- ∠ACD is supplementary to ∠BCD (so they add to 180°)
- ∠ACD ≅ ∠BCE (so they are equal)

Thus:

- ∠ACE = 180°−∠ACD
- ∠BCD = 180°−∠ACD
- ∠BCE = ∠ACD

Now check each option:

1. ∠ACE + ∠BCD = (180−∠ACD) + (180−∠ACD) = 360−2∠ACD ≠ 180° (unless ∠ACD=90°). So false.

2. ∠BCE + ∠ACE = ∠ACD + (180−∠ACD) = 180° → supplementary. True.

3. ∠BCD + ∠BCE = (180−∠ACD) + ∠ACD = 180° → supplementary. True.

4. ∠ACE = 180−∠ACD; ∠BCE = ∠ACD → not equal (unless ∠ACD=90°). False.

5. ∠BCD = 180−∠ACD; ∠ACE = 180−∠ACD → equal (congruent). True.

So the three true options are:
- B. Angle BCE is supplementary to angle ACE
- C. Angle BCD is supplementary to angle BCE
- E. Angle BCD is congruent to angle ACE

Wait, but the original options: Let's list the options with labels:

A. Angle ACE is supplementary to angle BCD.
B. Angle BCE is supplementary to angle ACE.
C. Angle BCD is supplementary to angle BCE.
D. Angle ACE is congruent to angle BCE.
E. Angle BCD is congruent to angle ACE.

So correct three: B, C, E.

But wait, initially I made a mistake in the supplementary vs congruent. The key was realizing that if two angles are supplementary to the same angle, they are congruent (equal), not supplementary to each other.

So the correct three are B, C, E.

# Answer:
B. Angle BCE is supplementary to angle ACE,
C. Angle BCD is supplementary to angle BCE,
E. Angle BCD is congruent to angle ACE
