This is the key signature for which MINOR key?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question shows a key signature with two sharps in the treble clef.

First, recall which keys use two sharps: the major key with two sharps is D major, and its relative minor (the minor key sharing the same key signature) is B minor.

Next, examine the given options in general: if a key signature has two sharps, the corresponding minor key is the one that is the relative minor of the major key with that signature.

Now consider potential confusion: F-sharp minor has three sharps in its key signature (F#, C#, G#), not two. Therefore, F-sharp minor cannot be the key for a two-sharp signature.

Since the two-sharp signature aligns with the major key of D major and the minor key of B minor, and the question asks for the minor key, the correct interpretation is the minor key that shares this signature.

Thus, the MINOR key associated with a two-sharp key signature is the one whose relative major is D major—the minor key corresponding to that signature.
