Question 11

2 ways to resolve the root position V7 in 4 PARTS TO A COMPLETE TONIC TRIAD

Answer 11

1) use an incomplete V7- double root & omit 5th

2) use a complete V7 but put the leading tone (3) in an INNER PART and FRUSTRATE natural resolution by taking it down a M3 to the 5th of the tonic triad
so move 7th to a 5th i think
