    • 4 beats

    • 5 beats

    Correct Answer
    A. 3 beats
    Explanation
    A dotted half note receives 3 beats. In musical notation, a dot placed next to a note increases its duration by half of its original value. A half note normally receives 2 beats, but when dotted, it receives an additional half of its value, resulting in a total of 3 beats.

    A. 1 1/2 beats
    Explanation
    A dotted quarter note receives 1 1/2 beats because a dotted note adds half of its original value to itself. In this case, a quarter note normally receives 1 beat, so adding half of that value (1/2) gives us a total of 1 1/2 beats.
