The statement below is followed by four options. Each option is related to the item in the statement, but only one is always true. Select the option that always holds and makes the statement true.
"A guitar always has ______."
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Strings
The answer must hold for every guitar, without exception. An option that is present in most cases but can be missing in even one case is not always true.
Option (1) Six strings — a twelve-string guitar has twelve strings.
Option (2) An electric pickup — an acoustic guitar works with no pickup or electricity.
Option (3) Strings — a guitar is a stringed instrument; its sound comes from plucking its strings, so this is always true.
Option (4) A bow — this is never true: a guitar is plucked or strummed, not played with a bow like a violin.
