It would have to be either a square, rectangle, trapezoid, or parallelogram... but I'm thinking trapezoid. What's the right answer.

The figure you are describing is called a "right trapezoid".

Going down your list:
- a right trapezoid is a square if and only if all three sides forming the two right angles are the same length.
- a right trapezoid is a rectangle if and only if a third angle is also a right angle.
- a right trapezoid is a parallelogram if and only if it is a rectangle.

A quadrilateral with exactly two consecutive right angles would have exactly one pair of parallel sides. Trapezoid it is!

Yes, it must be a trapezoid - a right trapezoid.

Trapezoid.

Square and rectangle have 4 (hence not EXACTLY 2), parallelogram has none.
