To determine the time signature indicated at the beginning of the excerpt, we would need to consider how many beats per measure and what type of note gets the beat.

From the options you've provided:

  • three-four (3/4)
  • two-two (2/2)
  • four-four (4/4)
  • two-four (2/4)

If the excerpt shows a time signature that suggests each measure contains three beats, then it is three-four. If each measure has two beats and a half note gets one beat, it is two-two. If there are four beats per measure and a quarter note gets one beat, it is four-four. And if there are two beats per measure, it is two-four.

Without the visual of the excerpt, I would recommend reviewing the first full measure indicated by the number one and checking how many beats it contains and which note receives the beat to identify the correct time signature from the options provided.
