Problem 2 :

A rectangle is a square.

Solution :

A rectangle may be a square sometimes, if all sides are equal. So, it is true.

Problem 3 :

A square is a rhombus.

Solution :

True, since all sides are equal in square and in rhombus.

Problem 4 :

A rhombus is a parallelogram.

Solution :

True, since opposite sides are parallel, we say rhombus is a parallelogram.
