No they r two diff quadilaterals with diff attributes. Square is not a subset of rectangle.

Well all squares are rectangles, but I don't think that is the answer to this question.

Two right angles doesn't make a quadrilateral a rectangle.

Interesting question. I would have gone for 'E'.

Anyway, can somebody put OA & OE?

it is E) cause even both combined it can be a kite since both are oposite angles so it is E) Agree that square is a special case of a rectangle

All squares are rectangles. But two opposing angles are 90 degree doesn't mean the other two are also 90 degrees. So the answer to this should be E.
