(A) Yes,it is true that $PR = EF$.
Since $\Delta PQR \cong \Delta EDF$,the corresponding parts of congruent triangles are equal $(CPCT)$.
The vertices correspond as follows: $P \leftrightarrow E$,$Q \leftrightarrow D$,and $R \leftrightarrow F$.
Therefore,the side $PR$ corresponds to the side $EF$,which implies $PR = EF$.
