<span>1. </span>I believe the correct answer is mainly vocal musical composition.

 

The motet is mainly vocal musical composition characteristic for the western world (West Europe). Motet is a highly varied form and style, which is consistently used from the late medieval era to the modern times. It was one of the pre-eminent polyphonic forms of Renaissance music.

 

<span>2. </span>I believe the correct answer is mostly three voices.

 

The motets can have multiple voices, but the most common is the three voices. But, these different voices never overpower each other, as the emphasis is on the music itself. They echo and overlap one another to create more texture, while maintaining the identity of their singular voice in the music. Compositions like this are "Ave Maria, Gratia Plena".

 

<span>3. </span>I believe the correct answer is some parts are polyphonic and some are homophonic for contrast and variety.

 

<span>Until the 16th century, texture of the music was primary polyphonic, but to add the contrast and variety, composers started writing some parts in homophony. Homophony is a texture in which a primary part is supported by one, and in polyphony the voices overlap, but never overpower each other. </span>

 

<span>4.</span>I believe the correct answer is instrumental motets make you feel like you’re inside the melody.

 

In the period of Baroque (16-17 century), the instrumental music was being included in chants like motets, and with the time, some motets became instrumental. Instrumental motets used technique called hocket, which involves layering different melodies on top of each other to unify them. Motets being mostly religious, instrumental music was more enchanting and absorbing than singing and the hocket technique add the harmony which makes you feel like you’re inside the melody itself.

What terms are used to refer to liquid measurements?
True [87]

Canada used the U.S. and imperial systems of measurement until 1971 when the S.I. or metric system was declared the official measuring system for Canada, which is now in use in most of the world, with the United States being the major exception. However, “declaring” and “truly adopting” are not always the same.

Because of Canada’s strong ties to the United States, a lot of our food products come from across the border, and many Canadian producers also sell in the U.S. market. This is one of the main reasons Canadians need to know how to work in both systems. Most Canadian packages include both Canadian and U.S. or imperial measurements on the label, and many suppliers still quote prices in cost per pound instead of cost per kilogram.

The most commonly used units of measurement in the U.S. and imperial systems are shown in Table 6.

<em>liter</em>

<em>literThe liter (L) is the basic metric unit for measuring liquid volume. A milliliter (mL) is the metric unit to measure liquid in very small containers.</em>
