Music to My Ears: The Fascinating World of Altos
What is the meaning of the word "alto" in English?
A.) Sad
B.) Short
C.) Fat
D.) Happy
Answer:
B.) Short
In this context, the word "alto" does not refer to the musical term for a range of voice or instrument, but rather its translation to English. The correct meaning of "alto" in English is "high" or "tall." The opposite of "alto" would be "bajo," which means "low" or "short."
So, the correct answer to the question is B.) Short. "Bajo" is the opposite of "alto" and means "short" or "low" in English.
