Answer 1

When a right trapezoidal prism is sliced parallel to its base, the resulting two-dimensional cross section will be a trapezoid. This is because the cross-section maintains the same shape as the base of the prism (which is a trapezoid), just scaled down or up depending on the slice.

So the correct response is:

**trapezoid**
