I'll be happy to take another "stab" at these questions if you do 2 things:
1. Put the answer (your choice) immediately after, but with, the numbered item
2. Skip lines between the numbers.

ok i will repost them
a lot of those answers are wrong
2. To determine who is correct, we need to understand the concept of atonal harmony. Atonal harmony refers to a style of music that does not center around a specific key or tonal center. In other words, it lacks a sense of traditional harmonic progression.
According to the given options, Jody claims that atonal harmony establishes a harmonic center of gravity, while Sean disagrees, saying that atonal harmony doesn't have a harmonic center of gravity.
Based on the definition of atonal harmony, Jody's statement is incorrect. Atonal harmony by nature does not establish a harmonic center of gravity. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Only Sean is correct.
To arrive at this conclusion, you will need knowledge of the concept of atonal harmony and an understanding of how it differs from traditional harmonic practices. Some sources you can refer to for further study include music theory textbooks, online music theory resources, or reference books on 20th-century music.
3. The question asks about the type of music that is written in two or more chords played simultaneously. To answer this question, we need to understand the definitions of the given options. We also need to know how these different terms relate to the concept of chords.
Based on the options given, we have:
A. Polytonal - Polytonal refers to the use of two or more keys or tonal centers at the same time. It does not specifically refer to chords.
C. Polyphonic - Polyphonic refers to the texture of music that consists of multiple independent melodic lines played simultaneously. Although it does not specifically mention chords, polyphonic music often involves multiple chords played simultaneously.
B. Polyrhythmic - Polyrhythmic refers to the use of multiple rhythms simultaneously. It does not specifically refer to chords.
D. Polychoral - Polychoral refers to the practice of using multiple choirs or groups of voices or instruments. It does not specifically refer to chords.
From the given options, the term that specifically refers to music written in two or more chords played simultaneously is C. Polyphonic.
To reach this conclusion, you should be familiar with the different terms used to describe musical elements such as harmony, texture, and rhythm. Music theory textbooks or online resources can provide further information on these concepts.
