1. Problem Description

We are given a figure where line segment ABAB is parallel to line segment CDCD. We are also given that ABE=50\angle ABE = 50^{\circ} and CDE=35\angle CDE = 35^{\circ}. We need to find the measure of BED\angle BED.

2. Solution Steps

Since ABAB is parallel to CDCD, we know that alternate interior angles are congruent.
However, it is not immediately obvious how this applies to the solution.
Instead, draw a line through EE that is parallel to ABAB and CDCD. Let's call this line FEGFEG where FF is on the same side as AA and GG is on the same side as CC.
Since ABFEGAB \parallel FEG, ABE=BEF=50\angle ABE = \angle BEF = 50^{\circ} (alternate interior angles).
Since CDFEGCD \parallel FEG, CDE=DEG=35\angle CDE = \angle DEG = 35^{\circ} (alternate interior angles).
We know that BED=BEF+DEG\angle BED = \angle BEF + \angle DEG.
Therefore, BED=50+35=85\angle BED = 50^{\circ} + 35^{\circ} = 85^{\circ}.

3. Final Answer

The measure of BED\angle BED is 8585^{\circ}.
The answer is B.
