Explanation:

Step1: For part A

Use a ruler to measure the lengths of line - segments AB and CD and write the values in the given spaces.

Step2: For part B

1. Place the zero - mark of the ruler at a point. Mark another point at the 5.3 cm mark on the ruler and draw a line segment between the two points for a length of 5.3 cm.
2. Place the zero - mark of the ruler at a point. Mark another point at the 3.9 cm mark on the ruler and draw a line segment between the two points for a length of 3.9 cm.

Step3: For part C

1. To draw parallel lines: Use a ruler to draw two straight lines that never meet, no matter how far they are extended, and label them (e.g., line l and line m).
2. To draw intersecting lines: Use a ruler to draw two straight lines that cross each other at a point and label them (e.g., line p and line q).

Answer:

For part A: Values are to be filled after measurement with a ruler.
For part B: Draw line segments of lengths 5.3 cm and 3.9 cm respectively.
For part C: Draw and label a pair of parallel lines and a pair of intersecting lines as described above.
