<u>Answer</u>
2nd diagram
<u>Explanation.</u>
When contraction a parallel line from a point say N, outside the line, the first thing is to draw a line from point N to the that line.
The point where this line from N intersect with line, name it say P. From this point you can use the properties of angles in a parallel lines to construct the parallel line.
The line NP can act like a transverse of the two parallel lines. The diagram 2 shows first step.
