When analyzing a piece with multiple modulations, what harmonic function does V/V (the secondary dominant) serve?
It serves as an augmented sixth chord introducing dissonance that requires resolution into another unrelated key area during modulation
It functions as an altered version of IV, creating subdominant tension within a new key area just established through modulation
It acts as leading tone resolving directly to the tonic of the new key area after modulation occurs
It prepares for and reinforces the following V chord in its key area before modulation occurs

One
Four
Two
Six
