Correct Answer

(1) Quadrilateral
(2) Parallelogram

Explanation

The hierarchy from most general to most specific: Quadrilateral (any 4-sided polygon) → Parallelogram (opposite sides parallel) → Rectangle (parallelogram with right angles) → Square (rectangle with equal sides). Every square is a rectangle; every rectangle is a parallelogram; every parallelogram is a quadrilateral.
