Answer 1

Here are the answers:

1. A — Can be very vocal and tug at the heart strings
2. B — a small wooden box with strings stretched across the surface
3. B — Thick and dark
4. A — Size

(Brief reasoning: low violin tones are warm and expressive; violins/violas are wooden stringed instruments; the viola has a darker, fuller timbre; and size strongly affects a viola’s tone and playability.)
