-
Cello

Flute

Violin
Correct Answer
A. ViolinExplanation
The violin is considered the "baby of the family" in the string family of instruments because it is the smallest and highest-pitched instrument in the group. It is often the first instrument that children learn to play and is commonly used in orchestras and ensembles. The cello, on the other hand, is larger and produces lower-pitched sounds. The flute and triangle are not part of the string family, making the violin the most appropriate answer.Rate this question:

Percussion Instruments

Keyboard Instruments
-
Woodwind Instruments
Correct Answer
A. Keyboard InstrumentsExplanation
The piano belongs to the family of keyboard instruments. This is because it is played by pressing keys on a keyboard, which in turn causes hammers to strike strings inside the instrument, producing sound. Unlike string instruments that produce sound by plucking or bowing strings directly, or percussion instruments that produce sound by striking or shaking, the piano's sound is generated through the mechanism of the keys and hammers. Therefore, it is classified as a keyboard instrument.Rate this question:
