#1 - Actually, this one could be argued both ways, but the traditional definition of a trapezoid is a 4-sided polygon with EXACTLY one pair of parallel sides.
Using this definition, it is clear that a parallelogram (which has 2 pairs of parallel sides) CANNOT be a trapezoid

#2 - This one's easy: A quadrilateral has 4 sides, so a figure that is a square MUST be a quadrilateral

#3 - This one's a bit tougher, but not too bad: a rhombus is a parallelogram whose 4 sides HAVE EQUAL LENGTH. Are all the sides of a square equal? Yes! So, a square is a rhombus

1). False. A parallelogram has 2 pairs of parallel
sides, a trapezoid only 1.

2), True. A square and a quadrilateral both have 4 sides.

3). True. A square and a rhombus are parallelograms
with all 4 sides congruent.

Next time, don't cheat, and figure it out for yourself.
1) False (No, parallelograms ALWAYS have 2 pairs of parallel sides and a trapezoid can ONLY have 1.)
2) True (Yes, every square has 4 sides[quadrilateral].)
3) True (Yes, the 4 sides of every square are equal[rhombus].)
