Detailed Solution

Given the statement that every kite is a parallelogram.
Considering PQRS as parallelogram and IJKL as kite:
In PQRS,
Since, in parallelogram opposite sides are equal and parallel.
Therefore, we have

P Q = S R P Q | | S R P S = Q R P S | | Q R

In IJKL,
A kite is made up of four straight lines in which two pairs of sides are there and each pair is made of two adjacent sides i.e., they are equal in length. Also, in a kite one diagonal of a quadrilateral bisects the other.

I J = I L L K = J K

So, we conclude that kites are not parallelograms because opposite sides of kites are not equal and parallel.
Thus, the given statement is false, every kite is not a parallelogram.
Hence, option 2 is correct.
