Yes, I am sure. The chromatic scale is composed entirely of half steps, meaning that every note is a half step apart from the next one. In contrast, the other scales mentioned (minor, whole tone, and major) contain whole steps as well as half steps.

The enharmonic spelling of G sharp is A flat.
Yes, I am sure. G sharp and A flat are enharmonically equivalent, meaning they are played on the same key on a piano (or have the same pitch) but are named differently depending on the musical context. Thank you for your patience!

The combination of notes that would occupy three beats is half and half.
Each half note is worth 2 beats, so two half notes together equal 4 beats, but if you were looking for a combination that gives you exactly 3 beats, typically a half note (2 beats) plus a quarter note (1 beat) would equal 3 beats, although that combination isn't listed in your options.
If strictly following your options, half and half would be incorrect for 3 beats since it equals 4 beats; however, based on more flexible interpretation, it might have been expected a specific single note alongside the two halves directly referenced.
If you need absolute clarity and strict adherence to the options, let me know for a detailed re-evaluation!
I apologize for any confusion in my previous response. Let me clarify:
Among the given options for a combination of notes that totals three beats:
- Whole and half — 4 beats (1 + 2)
- Half and half — 4 beats (2 + 2)
- Half and quarter — 3 beats (2 + 1)
- Eighth and quarter — 1.5 beats (0.5 + 1)
The correct choice that equals three beats is half and quarter.
Thank you for your understanding, and I appreciate your patience!
