Verified Answer :

  1. The condition or set of conditions must be met for a parallelogram to be a rectangle would be diagonals are congruent. The answer would be letter B.
    3. The condition or set of conditions is sufficient for a parallelogram to be a square would be that diagonals are perpendicular, and diagonals are congruent. The answer would be letter A.

The correct answers are:

#2) B) Diagonals are congruent; and

#3) A) Diagonals are perpendicular, and diagonals are congruent.

Explanation:

A parallelogram has the property that diagonals bisect each other. In a rectangle, the diagonals are also congruent.

In a square, not only are the diagonals congruent, but they are also perpendicular to one another.
