Question

The question asks: What pitch (letter name) is scale-degree 5 in the key of Bb major?

First, recall the Bb major scale in order: Bb, C, D, Eb, F, G, A, Bb. Each degree corresponds to a scale-step:
- 1: Bb
- 2: C
- 3: D
- 4: Eb
- 5: F
- 6: G
- 7: A
- 8: Bb (octave)

From this sequence, the fifth degree is the note F. This is determined by counting up five steps from the tonic Bb within the diatonic scale.

Next, observe that the provided answer options field is empty. Without any listed options to evaluate, there is nothing to compare against, so we cannot perform option-by-option analysis.

If options had been present, the correct approach would be to:
- Identify the scale degrees of Bb major to determine which pitch corresponds to degree 5.
- Check each listed option against F to confirm which one matches degree 5.
- Explain why F fits the fifth degree and why any other option would not align with the scale-degree mapping.

In case a student confuses key signature or letter naming, it helps to write out the scale step-by-step and label each degree explicitly, which makes the fifth degree unambiguous regardless of key.

Summarizing the underlying concept: in a major key, the scale-degree 5 is the dominant, which in Bb major corresponds to the note F. If you ever encounter a different key, you can apply the same method—list the diatonic notes in order and pick the fifth one.
