Chord Progressions and Predominant Function
When analyzing a harmonic progression that moves from to a predominant seventh chord, which of the following would be an unexpected but theoretically possible choice?
viiø^{4}_{3} (second inversion leading-tone half-diminished seventh)
ii^{6}_{5} (first inversion supertonic seventh)
V^{4}_{3}/ii (second inversion of secondary dominant of ii)
IV^{6} (first inversion subdominant)

It functions as a predominant chord.
It resolves directly to the tonic.
It acts primarily as a leading-tone chord.
What unusual role can a French sixth play within modal mixture circumstances when applied within complex harmonic progressions?
As diatonic iv6/5 suspension over tonic pedal.
As passing diminished seventh between tonic parallels.

In jazz harmony, if you encounter a iiiø7 as part of a turnaround progression in C Major, what is its most likely function within that context?
Incorrect Answer #5
Acting as a predominant before moving to vi or VI7/ii as part of back-cycling dominants toward IIø7-V7-I sequence
