Question: Given the $\angle ABC$, which is the third step in making a copy of $\angle ABC$?
1. **State the problem:** We want to identify the third step in the process of copying $\angle ABC$.
2. **Recall the steps to copy an angle:**
- Step 1: Place the compasses on the vertex of the original angle and draw an arc intersecting both sides.
- Step 2: Draw a ray from the new vertex to start the copied angle.
- Step 3: Using the same compass width, draw an arc from the new vertex to intersect the ray.
- Step 4: Measure the distance between the intersection points on the original angle and replicate it on the new arc.
3. **Analyze the options:**
- Option A corresponds to Step 1.
- Option B corresponds to Step 2.
- Option D corresponds to Step 4.
- Option C corresponds to Step 3.
4. **Conclusion:** The third step is Option C: Without changing the compasses' width, move the compasses to $M$ and draw an arc across the first one, creating point $L$ where they cross. Draw a ray $PR$ from $P$ through $L$ and onwards a little further. The exact length is not important.
**Final answer:** The third step is Option C.
