The construction of a major scale is determined by the pattern of whole and half steps. A major scale consists of the following sequence of intervals: whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half.
Starting on the note G, the G major scale is constructed as follows:
- G to A (whole step)
- A to B (whole step)
- B to C (half step)
- C to D (whole step)
- D to E (whole step)
- E to F# (whole step)
- F# to G (half step)
Thus, the notes in the G major scale are G, A, B, C, D, E, F#, and G.
From the provided options, the correct response is:
G, A, B, C, D, E, F#, G
However, it appears that "G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G" is the only representation shown in the options. Assuming that F# (as a sharp note) is correctly represented as F would make it misleading, but the scale itself would still typically include that sharp notation, making the complete version: G, A, B, C, D, E, F#, G.
Therefore, if only the option “G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G” is available and implied notes need to be ignored, that is closest to what likely was intended by the options presented. Please confirm if sharper notes were intended for evaluation in your requirements.
