what are three possible ways of naming the smallest interval (distance between two pitches) on a standard 88 - key piano?
☑ minor second
☑ major second
☑ second
□ semi - tone
□ whole step
□ half - step

Explanation:

The smallest interval on a standard piano is the distance between adjacent keys (white or black). This interval is correctly named a minor second, semi-tone, and half-step. A major second/whole step is twice this interval, and "second" alone is a broad category that includes larger intervals, so it does not specifically refer to the smallest interval.

Answer:

• minor second
• semi-tone
• half-step
