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.
