Question Analysis

This question involves the understanding of vertical angles and linear pairs of angles formed by intersecting lines.

Key Concept Explanation

Vertical angles: Occur when two lines intersect. They are opposite each other and have equal measures.

Linear pair: A pair of adjacent angles that together form a straight - line, so their sum is .

Step - by - Step Solution

1. Analyze the position of angles and :

Angles and are adjacent as they share a common vertex and a common side.

However, they do not form a straight - line. Also, they are not opposite each other. So, they are neither vertical angles nor a linear pair.
