1. **State the problem:** Given that $AB \cong DE$, $\angle C \cong \angle F$, and $\angle B \cong \angle E$, prove that $\triangle ABC \cong \triangle DEF$.
2. **Recall the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Congruence Postulate:** If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
3. **Identify the given congruences:**
- $AB \cong DE$ (side)
- $\angle C \cong \angle F$ (angle)
- $\angle B \cong \angle E$ (angle)
4. **Determine the missing reasons:**
- Reason 1: Given (already stated)
- Reason 2: Given (already stated)
- Reason 3: Given (already stated)
5. **Apply the ASA postulate:** Since two angles and the included side between them in $\triangle ABC$ are congruent to the corresponding two angles and included side in $\triangle DEF$, by ASA postulate,
$$\triangle ABC \cong \triangle DEF$$
6. **Complete the proof table:**
\nStatements Reasons
1. $AB \cong DE$ 1. Given
2. $\angle C \cong \angle F$ 2. Given
3. $\angle B \cong \angle E$ 3. Given
4. $\triangle ABC \cong \triangle DEF$ 4. ASA Postulate
This completes the proof that the two triangles are congruent by ASA.
