ANSWER: thematic: (purpose is to state) has a clearly recognizable theme, often of a singable character; transitional:
(purpose is to move) full of motion with melodic sequences and rapid chord changes; developmental: (purpose
is to develop) sounds harmonically active (moving bass line), is full of counterpoint, and makes use of
recognizable themes that are either extended or reduced to their essence; cadential: (purpose is to conclude)
sounds repetitious because the same chords are heard again and again
