Answer: B) 122 and 58

Supplementary angles add to 180 degrees. In other words, they form a straight angle or a straight line when you combine them together (make sure they don't overlap and that there isn't any gap between them).

Choice B is the only pair of angles where they add to 180 since 122+58 = 180. The values in choice A and choice D add to 90; the values in choice C adds to 270.

Note: complementary angles add to 90 degrees. One way to remember "supplementary" vs "complementary" is to think "S for straight, C for corner". By "corner", I mean a 90 degree corner.
