a line starts at one point and goes on forever.

That's false because a line goes on forever in both directions,
it doesn't "start" and it doesn't "end".

It's a "ray" that starts at one point and goes on forever.

i think the answer is false because a line ends unlike a ray.

No, that's not why it's false.  You are wrong to say that "a 
line ends".  A line segment ends, but not a line.  A line goes
on forever in both directions. It never begins nor ends.
