Problem

Let side $AD$ of convex quadrilateral $ABCD$ be extended through $D$ , and let side $BC$ be extended through $C$ , to meet in point $E.$ Let $S$ be the degree-sum of angles $CDE$ and $DCE$ , and let $S'$ represent the degree-sum of angles $BAD$ and $ABC.$ If $r=S/S'$ , then:

$\text{(A) } r=1 \text{ sometimes, } r>1 \text{ sometimes}\quad\\ \text{(B) } r=1 \text{ sometimes, } r<1 \text{ sometimes}\quad\\ \text{(C) } 0<r<1\quad \text{(D) } r>1\quad \text{(E) } r=1$
