Name the note that is a whole step above F.

• A. E
• B. F♯
• C. G
• D. A

Answer: (C)

The note that is a whole step above F is F♯. A whole step, or major second, consists of two half steps. When you move from F to F♯, you are moving up one half step. Then, to complete the whole step, you continue to G, which is the next note in the sequence. Thus, F to G encompasses two half steps: from F to F♯ (one half step) and from F♯ to G (another half step). Therefore, G is the note that is a whole step above F. In this context, the correct choice is G. The other options do not fit because E is a whole step below F, F♯ is only a half step above it, and A is two whole steps above F, rather than one.
