Question
### Consecutive Angles in a Parallelogram

In the geometrical shape known as a parallelogram, consecutive angles have specific relationships. 

**Question:**
Consecutive angles in a parallelogram are always ______.

**Options:**
- A) congruent angles
- B) complementary angles
- C) supplementary angles
- D) vertical angles

**Explanation:**
When dealing with the properties of a parallelogram, it is important to understand the relationships between different angles. 

### Definitions:
- **Congruent Angles:** Angles that have the same measure.
- **Complementary Angles:** Two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees.
- **Supplementary Angles:** Two angles whose measures add up to 180 degrees.
- **Vertical Angles:** Angles that are opposite each other when two lines cross, and they are always equal.

In a parallelogram, consecutive angles are supplementary angles. This means that each pair of consecutive angles adds up to 180 degrees.

Correct answer: **C) supplementary angles**
