Explanation:

1. A rhombus is sometimes a square.

A rhombus has 4 equal sides. A square has 4 equal sides and 4 right angles. Some rhombuses (with right angles) are squares, so "sometimes" is correct.

A square has 4 equal sides, which is a defining property of a rhombus. So a square always meets the rhombus definition.

A triangle has 3 sides, a quadrilateral has 4. A triangle can't have 4 sides, so "never" is correct.

Answer:

sometimes

2. A square is always a rhombus.
