    A. Sonata-Allegro
    Explanation
    In the first movement of Beethoven's Symphony #5, he uses the Sonata-Allegro form. This form consists of three main sections - the exposition, development, and recapitulation. The exposition introduces the main themes, the development section explores and develops these themes, and the recapitulation restates the themes in their original form.

    • 4/4

    • 2/2

    Correct Answer
    A. 3/4
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 3/4. The time signature of a piece of music indicates the number of beats in each measure and the value of each beat. In 3/4 time, there are three beats per measure and a quarter note receives one beat. This time signature is often associated with a waltz-like feel, with a strong emphasis on the first beat of each measure. Therefore, the third movement of Symphony #5 is likely to have a waltz-like feel with three beats per measure.
