No. They are both quadrilaterals (4-sided shapes) but a parallelogram has both opposite sides parallel (think of a slanted rectangle). In a trapezoid only one of the pairs of opposite sides is parallel (think of the bottom half of a triangle if you cut off the tip with a line that is parallel to its base).

No, a trapezoid can't be a parallelogram. By definition, a trapezoid is a quadrilateral (four-sided figure) with only two parallel sides. A parallelogram, by definition, is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides.
