    Which chess piece can only move diagonally? ​ - ProProfs

    Which chess piece can only move diagonally? ​

    • Pawn

    • Queen

    • Bishop

    • Rook

    Correct Answer
    A. Bishop
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Bishop because it is the only chess piece that can only move diagonally. The Bishop can move any number of squares diagonally in any direction as long as there are no other pieces obstructing its path. It cannot move horizontally or vertically like the Rook, or in any direction like the Queen. The Pawn can only move forward, and the Queen can move in any direction but not limited to diagonals only.

    How many valves does a trumpet have? ​ - ProProfs

    How many valves does a trumpet have? ​

    • 1

    • 2

    • 3

    • 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    A trumpet typically has three valves. These valves are used to change the pitch of the instrument by altering the length of the tubing. When a valve is pressed down, it diverts the air through an additional length of tubing, which lowers the pitch. By combining different valve combinations, the player can produce a wide range of notes. Therefore, the correct answer is 3.
