Question

In a major key the minor diatonic tired are A- mediant domaint and submediant B- subdomaint domaint and tonic-C supertonic subdomaint and dominant D- Supertonic mediant and subdomaint

Answer 1

In the context of a major key, the diatonic triads are built on each scale degree and can have different qualities (major, minor, diminished). Let's clarify the terms:

1. **Tonic (I)**: Major
2. **Supertonic (ii)**: Minor
3. **Mediant (iii)**: Minor
4. **Subdominant (IV)**: Major
5. **Dominant (V)**: Major
6. **Submediant (vi)**: Minor
7. **Leading Tone (vii°)**: Diminished

Let's analyze the options you've given:

A. **Mediant, Dominant, and Submediant**: This option is not completely correct because:
- The Mediant (iii) is minor in a major key.
- The Dominant (V) is major.
- The Submediant (vi) is minor.

B. **Subdominant, Dominant, and Tonic**: This option is correct since:
- The Subdominant (IV) is major.
- The Dominant (V) is major.
- The Tonic (I) is major.

C. **Supertonic, Subdominant, and Dominant**: This is incorrect because:
- The Supertonic (ii) is minor, while the Subdominant (IV) and Dominant (V) are major.

D. **Supertonic, Mediant, and Subdominant**: This option mixes qualities:
- The Supertonic (ii) is minor.
- The Mediant (iii) is minor.
- The Subdominant (IV) is major.

From these interpretations, **B** is the most accurate in terms of referring to the qualities of the chords in a major key. Would you like further clarification or examples?
