How many businesses are started every year in the united states?
question 13 options:

250,000

more than 540,000

fewer than 500,000

4,000,000

more than 540,000 but the accurate options is actually more than 627,000

your word would be isle.

isle is an island or peninsula especially a small one.

if you add the letter "a" you get aisle, which is a passage between 2 rows of something like chairs, shelves, or something else.

i'm not sure i completely understand your question, but i will do my best.

i think the answer you are looking for is sequence. (see below)

a repeated melodic fragment would be best defined as repetition, while repeated chords (different or the same) could be a chord progression. however, you then mentioned the chord and melodic fragment beginning on higher or lower pitches, in that case, the answer could be best defined as a sequence. the definition of a sequence is as follows: "the restatement of a motif or longer melodic (or harmonic) passage at a higher or lower pitch in the same voice."

let me know if this !
