Guitar is to strings

Guitar : Strings :: Piano : ?

Show the answer and the worked solution

Correct answer: A.

Keys

Worked solution

  1. The relation is instrument to the part played.
  2. A piano is played with its keys.
  3. Pedals exist but are not what produces the notes.

Answer: Keys.

The idea

Choose the part that plays the same role, not merely a part that exists. A piano does have pedals, but they are not its strings.

Shortcut. Strings are what a guitarist's fingers work to make the notes; on a piano the fingers work the 'Keys'.

Common trap. "Pedals" — a real part of a piano, but they only sustain or soften notes; the fingers play the keys.
