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 bicycle always has ______."
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Wheels
The answer must hold for every bicycle, without exception. An option that is present in most cases but can be missing in even one case is not always true.
Option (1) A bell — a bicycle runs without a bell; many racing bicycles have none.
Option (2) Wheels — a bicycle moves by rolling on its two wheels; a bicycle without wheels cannot exist, so this is always true.
Option (3) Gears — an ordinary single-speed bicycle has no gears.
Option (4) A carrier — a carrier is an extra fitting; many bicycles have none.
