What is the similarity between singing and instrumental playing?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Both are forms of musical art
The governing concept is classification by the principal sensory and expressive element of an art. Singing uses the human voice to produce notes, melody, rhythm, and expressive sound. Instrumental playing uses an instrument to produce or control those same musical elements. Although the performer and means of production differ, both activities are organized as music and are mainly experienced through hearing. Therefore option D is correct. Option A is unsuitable because neither activity is primarily visual, B confuses music with craft, and C directly contradicts the presence of voice, notes, and instrumental sound. The shared category is musical or auditory art.
