If you transposed this incredibly short melody up by a whole step, what key would it be in? (Hint: look at the key signature and the last note to find out what key this melody is in and if it is a major or a minor)

• D minor

• F major

• C# minor

• D major

Answer explanation

This melody is in C minor, because the key signature is B-flat E-flat A-flat (a key signature only E-flat major and C minor can have), and the last note is C. Therefore if we transpose it up by one whole step, we have to get D minor, and its key signature is B-flat.
