Which of the following is not a true statement about sound in a play? * The characters typically can’t hear a narrator or background music, but the actors can.
Both the actors and their characters typically hear a narrator or background music.
Neither the actors nor their characters can typically hear a narrator or background music.
The actors typically can’t hear a narrator or background music, but the characters can.

I believe the answer should be Option 1 The characters typically can’t hear a narrator or background music, but the actors can.

Characters usually don't hear the background music or the narration, so options 2 and 4 are wrong.

Im pretty sure the actors do hear the narrations and music tho so. should be option 1.

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 !
