A parallelogram \(ABCD\) and a point \(E\) are given. Through the points \(A, B, C, D\), lines parallel to the straight lines \(EC, ED, EA,EB\), respectively, are drawn. Prove that they intersect at one point.
a) Can 4 points be placed on a plane so that each of them is connected by segments with three points (without intersections)?
b) Can 6 points be placed on a plane and connected by non-intersecting segments so that exactly 4 segments emerge from each point?
