Explanation

Now we have a parallelogram with sides PQ || RS and QS is transversal.

So $$\angle PQS = \angle QSR = 35$$ as they are alternate interior angle.

And Finally

$$\angle PSQ + \angle QSR + 65 = 180$$, as PS is a straight line.

$$\angle PSQ = 80$$.

Hence option D is correct.

We notice that QR and PS are parallel, and they are cut by the transversal QS. Using the property of alternate interior angles, we see that since angle PQS = 35 degrees, angle QSR must be 35 degrees also. Now notice that the three angles with vertex at point S add up to 180 degrees; therefore, we have:

x + 35 + 65 = 180

x + 100 = 180

x = 80 .
