Which of these statements would a Realist most likely agree with? A. Painting must be as scientific and mathematical as possible.
B. Painters cannot ignore what other artists are doing and hope to be
relevant to their times.
C. The most valuable thing about art is its ability to represent nature
accurately
D. The struggles of common people are the most powerful artistic
subjects

I think D would be the most likely answer.

Explanation:

That is just my opinion because if you paint common people struggles than you can see the pain and sorrow. But again that is just my opinion. Sorry if it is wrong :(

i'm not sure i completely understand your question, but i will do my best.

i think the answer you are looking for is sequence. (see below)

a repeated melodic fragment would be best defined as repetition, while repeated chords (different or the same) could be a chord progression. however, you then mentioned the chord and melodic fragment beginning on higher or lower pitches, in that case, the answer could be best defined as a sequence. the definition of a sequence is as follows: "the restatement of a motif or longer melodic (or harmonic) passage at a higher or lower pitch in the same voice."

let me know if this !
