**Similar Triangles by SAS~ Theorem**

**Question:**
Which pair of triangles can be proven similar by the SAS~ Theorem?

**Options:**

**1.**
- **Diagram:**
  - Two triangles are shown.
  - The first triangle is labeled as \( \triangle ABC \) with vertices \( A, B, \) and \( C \).
  - The second triangle is labeled as \( \triangle PQR \) with vertices \( P, Q, \) and \( R \).

**2.**
- **Diagram:**
  - Two triangles are shown.
  - The first triangle is labeled as \( \triangle ABC \) with vertices \( A, B, \) and \( C \). Sides \( AB \) and \( AC \) are marked with single and double lines respectively, indicating they correspond to sides in another triangle.
  - The second triangle is labeled as \( \triangle XYZ \) with vertices \( X, Y, \) and \( Z \). Sides \( XY \) and \( XZ \) are marked with single and double lines respectively, and there is an angle marked between these sides.

**3.**
- **Diagram:**
  - Two triangles are shown.
  - The first triangle is labeled as \( \triangle ABQ \) with vertices \( A, B, \) and \( Q \). Sides \( AB \) and \( AQ \) are intersected by lines \( BR \) and \( AP \). 
  - The second triangle is labeled as \( \triangle PRQ \) with vertices \( P, R, \) and \( Q \). Vertices \( P \) and \( R \) are where the triangles intersect, forming angles that can be compared for similarity.

**4.**
- **Diagram:**
  - Two right-angled triangles are shown.
  - The first triangle is labeled as \( \triangle MNP \) with vertices \( M, N, \) and \( P \). The lengths of the sides are given as \( PM = 9 \), \( MN = 12 \), and \( NP = 15 \).
  - The second triangle is labeled as \( \triangle WXL \) with vertices \( W, X, \) and \( L \). The lengths of the sides are given as \( XW = 16 \), \( WL = 12 \), and \( XL = 20
