Suppose that the following fact is proven by exhaustion.

Theorem: Every integer in the range from 55 through 57 is composite.

Select the lines that would be included in the proof.
54 = (2)(27), so 54 is composite.
55 = (5)(11), so 55 is composite.
56 = (2)(28), so 56 is composite.
57 = (3)(19), so 57 is composite.
58 = (2)(29), so 58 is composite.
