Brief Explanations
- First, verify Statement 2: ∠ACD and ∠DCB form a linear pair (they share a side and their non-shared sides form a straight line AB). The linear pair theorem states that such angles are supplementary (sum to 180°), so Statement 2 is correctly supported.
- Next, verify Statement 3: The transitive property applies to relations like congruence (≅) or equality (=). Supplementary is a relationship about angle sums, not a congruence/equality. We know ∠ACD ≅ ∠XYZ and m∠ACD + m∠DCB = 180°. Substituting gives m∠XYZ + m∠DCB = 180°, but this substitution uses the definition of congruent angles and substitution property, not the transitive property, which only applies to direct congruence/equality between quantities.
- Evaluate the options: The only incorrect support is for Statement 3, as the transitive property does not apply to supplementary relationships, only congruence and equality.

Statement 3, because the transitive property applies only to congruence and equality.
