Answer
(i) The given figure has the same starting and end point and does not cross itself at any point.
∴ Yes, it is a simple closed curve.
(ii) The given figure is a simple closed curve made up entirely of four line segments.
∴ Yes, it is a quadrilateral.
(iii) The diagonals are obtained by joining the non-adjacent vertices of the quadrilateral.

∴ The diagonals are .
(iv) On observing the figure carefully, we find that one diagonal lies completely inside the quadrilateral while the other lies completely outside it (since the quadrilateral is concave).
∴ Diagonal lies in the interior and diagonal lies in the exterior of the quadrilateral ABCD.
