(a)
Interpretation:
It is to be determined whether the given pair of molecules is mirror images.
Concept introduction:
A molecule and its mirror image are directly opposite each other on the opposite sides of the mirror. They are identical distances away from the mirror. When the mirror is perpendicular to the plane of the page, dash-wedge notation in the mirror image is identical to that in the original molecule.
