Answer 1

The notes are changing by a mixture of whole and half steps.

1. The first staff shows E to D-sharp, which is a downward change of a half step.
2. The second staff shows F to F-sharp, which is an upward change of a half step.
3. The third staff shows G to A-flat, which is an upward change of a half step.

Thus, the overall changes can be seen as a mixture of steps.
