Explanation
The correct solfege is "Do, Re, Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, Fa, Mi, Re, Do, Re, Do, Do." This is because it follows the correct sequence of solfege syllables in the major scale. Each note is represented by its corresponding solfege syllable, starting with "Do" as the tonic or first note of the scale, and going up to "Ti" before returning to "Do." The given answer follows this pattern correctly.

- A.

In 3/4 time, there are three beats per measure. This is because the top number in the time signature represents the number of beats in each measure, and the bottom number represents the type of note that receives one beat. In this case, the top number is 3, indicating that there are three beats per measure. Therefore, the statement "In 3/4 time, there are three beats per measure" is true.
