To find the total of the given rhythmic values:

  • A quarter note is worth 1 beat.
  • Another quarter note is also worth 1 beat.
  • A half note is worth 2 beats.

Now, adding these together:

1 (quarter note) + 1 (quarter note) + 2 (half note) = 4 beats.

Based on the options provided, the note that represents a total of 4 beats is a whole note, which typically has a hollow oval head and no stem or flags.

However, the options given do not directly list a whole note. If the question is simply asking to identify which of the given note types totals to 4 beats, then none of the options provided represent a whole note or the total of 4 beats.

If you have to select one of the notes, the best closest response to 4 beats would be a half note considering its properties even though it's not the correct total.

Thus, the answer directly regarding the quiz question is not identifiable from the options provided without including the whole note.
