Question
A straight path that starts at one point and continues forever in one direction is called a ______.
- point
- line segment
- ray
- parallel lines
Hint:
Here, in this problem, we should recall the definition of ray and apply it to answer this question.
The correct answer is: ray
We know that a ray is a part of a straight line that has one fixed point but the other point does not have an end i.e., a ray has one terminating end but the other end is extending infinitely. For example, consider the following figure:
In the above figure, 
is a ray, where 
is the fixed end point and the other point 
is extending infinitely i.e., one terminating point is symbolized as and the infinitely extending part is depicted by an arrow.
Therefore, a straight path that starts at one point and continues forever in one direction is called a ray.
Note that a ray has one end point fixed and the other part is extending infinitely.

Number of lines of symmetry does a parallelogram have________
Certain specific types of parallelograms like a square or a squarical rhombus have 4 lines of symmetry (1 vertical, 1 horizontal and 2 diagonal). Also, a rectangle has 2 lines of symmetry (1 vertical and 1 horizontal).
However, since no specific detail has been given in the question, we will assume that the given parallelogram is not a square or a rectangle.
