MAKE SURE IT IS AN ACTUAL QUESTION OR I WILL REPORT YOU In the story, they have gone without water for over 16 hours. Consider the references to the temperature of their environment. Create a hypothesis about whether or not you believe their experience is possible or not. Then, using credible sources, such as .gov or .edu, try to prove your hypothesis. Use at least two different sources and write a minimum of 2 paragraphs exploring what you found. Remember, it is okay to have your hypothesis be incorrect! It is more important that you discover the truth than prove yourself correct.

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 !
