1. polyphonic = music in which the melody is accompanied by voices in the same rhythm
2. homophonic = Melody accompanied by chords. All the notes are moving the same way, accompanying the same melody.
3 & 4 = Texture is the use of one or more sounds to create music. It can be thick or thin, simple or complex.

To match the words with the sentences, let's break down the definitions of each term:
1. Polyphonic: This refers to music that has two or more independent melodies playing at the same time.
2. Homophonic: This describes music that has a single melodic line with accompanying chordal parts that move together.
3. Thick Texture: This indicates music with many different parts playing close together.
4. Thin Texture: This characterizes music with a few parts spaced apart.
Now let's match the terms with the sentences:
- Single melodic line: This matches with Homophonic because it describes music with a single melodic line.
- A few parts spaced apart: This matches with Thin Texture because it describes music with a thin texture where the parts are spaced apart.
- Chordal parts that move together: This does not match any of the given terms. It seems like it could be a description of Homophonic, but it is not an exact match.
- Two or more melodies playing at the same time: This matches with Polyphonic because it describes music with multiple independent melodies playing simultaneously.
- Many different parts playing close together: This matches with Thick Texture. It describes music with many parts playing together in close proximity.
So the correct matches would be:
- Single melodic line: Homophonic
- A few parts spaced apart: Thin Texture
- Chordal parts that move together: No match found
- Two or more melodies playing at the same time: Polyphonic
- Many different parts playing close together: Thick Texture
Remember, it can be helpful to refer to definitions and examples from trusted sources, such as music textbooks or reputable websites, when completing homework assignments.
