Which chord construction rule, triad quality, seventh chord inversion, or part-writing principle is described below?

*A three-note chord constructed by stacking two thirds above a fundamental root note.*

**A)** Triad (Root - Third - Fifth)
**B)** Seventh Chord
**C)** Ninth Chord
**D)** Interval Dyad

Which chord construction rule, triad quality, seventh chord inversion, or part-writing principle is described below?

*Major (M3 + m3), Minor (m3 + M3), Diminished (m3 + m3), Augmented (M3 + M3).*

**A)** Major, Minor, Diminished, Augmented
**B)** Major, Minor, Perfect, Imperfect
**C)** Dominant, Subdominant, Tonic, Leading
**D)** Root, First, Second, Third Inversions

Which chord construction rule, triad quality, seventh chord inversion, or part-writing principle is described below?

*Root + Major Third (4 semitones) + Minor Third (3 semitones) = Root to Fifth is a Perfect 5th (7 semitones).*

**A)** Major Triad (M3 + m3 = P5)
**B)** Minor Triad (m3 + M3 = P5)
**C)** Diminished Triad (m3 + m3 = d5)
**D)** Augmented Triad (M3 + M3 = A5)

Which chord construction rule, triad quality, seventh chord inversion, or part-writing principle is described below?

*Root + Minor Third (3 semitones) + Major Third (4 semitones) = Root to Fifth is a Perfect 5th (7 semitones).*

**A)** Minor Triad (m3 + M3 = P5)
**B)** Major Triad (M3 + m3 = P5)
**C)** Diminished Triad (m3 + m3 = d5)
**D)** Augmented Triad (M3 + M3 = A5)

Which chord construction rule, triad quality, seventh chord inversion, or part-writing principle is described below?

*Root + Minor Third (3 semitones) + Minor Third (3 semitones) = Root to Fifth is a Diminished 5th (6 semitones / tritone).*

**A)** Diminished Triad (m3 + m3 = d5)
**B)** Minor Triad
**C)** Major Triad
**D)** Augmented Triad

Which chord construction rule, triad quality, seventh chord inversion, or part-writing principle is described below?
