The answer is the second one: \(\angle S\) and \(\angle P\).

Explanation:

  • In a triangle, a side is said to be "included" between two angles if it is the side that connects the vertices of those two angles.
  • In \(\triangle YPS\), the side \(\overline{PS}\) connects the vertices \(P\) and \(S\).
  • Therefore, \(\overline{PS}\) is included between \(\angle S\) and \(\angle P\).

Let's evaluate each option:

  1. \(\angle Y\) and \(\angle P\): Incorrect, because \(\overline{PS}\) does not connect the vertices of \(\angle Y\) and \(\angle P\).
  2. \(\angle S\) and \(\angle P\): Correct, because \(\overline{PS}\) connects the vertices of \(\angle S\) and \(\angle P\).
  3. \(\angle P\) and \(\angle Y\): Incorrect, as it is the same as the first option, just reordered.
  4. \(\angle S\) and \(\angle Y\): Incorrect, because \(\overline{PS}\) does not connect the vertices of \(\angle S\) and \(\angle Y\).

In summary, \(\overline{PS}\) is included between \(\angle S\) and \(\angle P\).
