Choose the word that makes this sentence true. A rectangle is ____ a square. Choices: (A)always (B)sometimes (C)never

Analyze Definitions: Analyze the definitions of a rectangle and a square. A rectangle has opposite sides equal and four right angles. A square is a special type of rectangle where all four sides are equal and it also has four right angles. Evaluate Choices: Evaluate the choices given: (A) always, (B) sometimes, (C) never. Since a square is always a rectangle but a rectangle is not always a square, the correct choice must reflect this conditional relationship. Apply Definitions: Apply the definitions to the choices. If the statement were ＂A square is ____ a rectangle,＂ then ＂always＂ would be correct. However, since the statement is ＂A rectangle is ____ a square,＂ the correct answer is that it is only true under certain conditions (i.e., when all sides are equal).
