Since you want 4 right angles, and 2 pairs of opposite sides, you're probably looking for a rectangle.

Answer:

Rectangle

Explanation:

A polygon that has four sides is called quadrilateral.

Also, there are six basic types of quadrilaterals,

(i) Rectangle has 2 pairs of parallel congruent opposite sides and 4 right interior angles.

(ii) Square has 4 congruent sides and 4 right interior angles,

(ii) Parallelogram has 2 pairs of parallel congruent opposite sides and 2 pairs of congruent opposite angles.

(iii) Rhombus has 4 congruent sides and 4 congruent angles.

(iv) Trapezium has one pair of parallel sides,

(v) Kite has 2 pairs of congruent adjacent sides.

Thus, By the above explanation, it is clear that the quadrilateral she could have drawn is rectangle.
