Explanation:

Question 1

Step1: Recall trapezoid definition

A trapezoid (in some definitions) has at least one pair of parallel sides; in the inclusive definition, it has one pair. So "no opposite sides parallel" is false.

Step2: Evaluate options

Option B (No) is correct as the statement is false.

Step1: Recall quadrilateral types

A quadrilateral with all four sides congruent could be a rhombus (not necessarily a square, as a square also needs right angles). So the statement is false.

Step2: Evaluate options

Option B (No) is correct.

Step1: Recall parallelogram and rectangle definitions

A parallelogram has opposite sides parallel and equal. A rectangle is a parallelogram with right angles. So a parallelogram is a rectangle only when it has right angles (e.g., a non - right - angled parallelogram is not a rectangle). Thus, it is sometimes a rectangle.

Step2: Evaluate options

Option B (sometimes) is correct.

Answer:

B. No
