The quadrilateral could be a rhombus, square, or rectangle. So, the correct options are I, III, and N only.

Solución

Since the quadrilateral has both pairs of opposite sides parallel, it is a parallelogram. One key property of parallelograms is that their diagonals bisect each other. Therefore, any quadrilateral that meets these conditions must be a parallelogram. Among the given options: • A rhombus is a parallelogram. • A square is a parallelogram. • A rectangle is a parallelogram. • A trapezoid (if defined in the exclusive sense as having only one pair of parallel sides) is not necessarily a parallelogram. In this problem, because the quadrilateral has both pairs of parallel sides, it cannot be classified as a trapezoid under that definition. Thus the quadrilateral could be a rhombus, square, or rectangle—which corresponds to options I, III, and N only.

The Deep Dive

A quadrilateral that has opposite sides parallel and diagonals that bisect each other is specifically a parallelogram. This means it could indeed be a rhombus, rectangle, or square, as all three shapes fit these criteria. In the realm of geometry, parallelograms are like the “family” of shapes where each member possesses unique attributes while sharing key characteristics. When approaching problems like this, it's important to visualize. Drawing the shapes helps identify their properties. Common mistakes include overlooking that while all squares and rhombuses are parallelograms (and thus have the described properties), not all parallelograms are squares or rhombuses—rectangles could also fit the description. So always sketch before finalizing your answer!
