Answer: Correct

Explanation:

The conclusion is valid. Since
\overline{AB} \parallel \overline{DC} and
\overline{AD} \parallel \overline{BC}, we know that ABCD is a parallelogram because it has two pairs of parallel sides. Also, since
\overline{AB} \cong \overline{BC}, we know that ABCD is a parallelogram with a pair of consecutive congruent sides, making it a rhombus.
