Answer:

The correct answer is:    [C]:

________________________________________________

  " {The figure is a kite.  To be a parallelogram, it would have to have pairs of opposite congruent sides, not just congruent sides. } ."

Step-by-step explanation:

________________________________________________

Note that "all" squares are "parallelograms" ; and that "all" rectangles are

                "parallelograms" ;  

           yet:  "Not All parallelograms" are "squares" or "rectangles".

The question asks:

________________________________________________

"Quadrilateral QRST has two pairs of congruent  sides, but it is not a parallelogram.  

What figure is it?  

What further condition would have to satisfy to be a parallelogram? "  .

________________________________________________

So;  we can rule out:

________________________________________________

"Answer choices:

[A]:  "The figure is a square..." ;

________________________________________________

[B]:   "The figure is a rectangle..." ;  AND :

________________________________________________

[D]: "The figure is a square..."  .

________________________________________________

We are left with:

________________________________________________

Answer choice:  [C]:  

________________________________________________

          " { The figure is a kite.  To be a parallelogram, it would have to have pairs of opposite congruent sides, not just congruent sides. } "  .
