B.Only the name of a tabla theka
C.Only a Western key signature
D.Only the school attendance register
Explanation: Varna refers to the basic patterns of swara movement (sthayi, arohi, avarohi, sanchari) from which alankars and phrases are built.

B.Only Sam, Taali, Khali, and Vibhag
C.Only Bilawal, Kalyan, Khamaj, and Kafi
D.Only Aalap, Taan, Bandish, and Tarana
Explanation: Traditional theory names four varnas: sthayi (resting), arohi (ascending), avarohi (descending), and sanchari (mixed/wandering).
3Alankars in vocal practice are most directly created by combining:
A.Varnas (note-movement patterns) into orderly, repeatable note sequences
B.Only random noise without swaras
C.Only dance mudras without pitch
D.Only percussion bols without melody
Explanation: Alankars are ornamental/practice patterns built from varna-based swara sequences, drilled to strengthen control of raga material.

A.A foundational scale/system of notes from which murchhanas are derived
B.Only a village panchayat office
C.Only a brand of harmonium

B.Only Teentaal-gram, Dadra-gram, and Keherwa-gram
C.Only Major, Minor, and Chromatic gram
D.Only North, South, and East gram
Explanation: Traditional theory identifies three gramas: Shadja, Madhyama, and Gandhara, which organize scale structures and murchhanas.

A.A modal shift obtained by treating successive notes of a gram as temporary tonics
B.Only a tabla solo form
C.Only a lighting design for stage

B.A complete change of tala mid-cycle only
C.Silencing the tanpura entirely
D.Reading only Western staff notation

B.Only a sharp staccato attack with no connection
C.Only a silent rest for a full aavartan
D.Only the empty wave of khali
