With the parallelogram, I believe six... with the circle, infinite.

As the mathematics teacher said, the parallelogram had different lines of symmetry for a specific type of parallelogram. By definition, a parallelogram only has to have two pairs of parallel sides.
So a square would have 4 (horizontal, vertical, and two diagonals)
A rectangle only has 2 (unlike what the professor said), take a piece of regular computer paper, and see that a rectangle does NOT have diagonal line symmetry. (Sadly, its not the first time I've heard someone make this mistake)
And as eveyrone said, a circle has an infinite amount of lines of symmetry.
Hope this helps :)

Circle: Infinite
Parallelogram: Depends on the shape of the parallelogram (To be a parallelogram it must have 2 sets of parallel sides)
Square: 4 (Horizontal, Vertical, 2 Diagonal)
Rectangle: 4 (Horizontal, Vertical, 2 Diagonal)
Rhombus: 2 (2 Diagonal)
True Parallelogram: 0

With regards to the circle, infinite, obviously. However with regards to the paralellogram, the question is too vague, parallelograms come in a variety of shapes.

for circle ans= infinite
but for parallelogram ans= 0, how it can be 8 0r 6 0r 4?
make a parallelogram by a piece of paper and check it
