Do you have a specific question as to this proof or proofs in general or do you just want the correct responses?

Yes this can be proven, but that set of Statements/Reasons has problems. In statement 3, ∠GHA isn't an Alternate Interior Angle whereas the other 3 angles in statement 3 are. In statement 4, line BC doesn't bisect ∠A.
