Sure! Let's complete the statements with the correct reasons for each step.

[tex]\[ \begin{tabular}{|l|l|} \hline Statement & Reason \\ \hline Points $A, B$, and C form a triangle. & given \\ \hline Let $\overline{D E}$ be a line passing through $B$ and parallel to $\overline{A C}$ & definition of parallel lines \\ \hline $\angle 3 \cong \angle 5$ and $\angle 1 \cong \angle 4$ & Alternate Interior Angles Theorem \\ \hline $m \angle 1= m \angle 4$ and $m \angle 3= m \angle 5$ & Congruent Angles Have Equal Measures \\ \hline $m \angle 4+ m \angle 2+ m \angle 5=180^{\circ}$ & angle addition and definition of a straight line \\ \hline $m \angle 1+ m \angle 2+ m \angle 3=180^{\circ}$ & substitution \\ \hline \end{tabular} \][/tex]

This step-by-step proof demonstrates that the sum of the interior angles of [tex]$\triangle ABC$[/tex] is [tex]$180^{\circ}$[/tex], using the properties of parallel lines and congruent angles.
