C. Solve the following problems completely.

1. How can two pencils (representing lines) be held so that a plane can passed containing both; so that no plane can be passed containing both?

2. What is meant by the statement, "Two planes determine a line" Is this universally true?

3. Can a plane intersect two planes that are not parallel so that the intersections are parallel? Illustrate your answer by passing a plane through the edges of an open book. How must this plane be passed so that the intersections are parallel lines?
