I am attaching all the completed exercises on triads, which I submit for the kind correction of the forum users (thank you).

Only in one case have I left a measure empty because I cannot complete the exercise requirement.

The case 'h' from ex. pg 19 no. 7 asks to write in four parts with G# in the soprano a consonant triad in B major.... but the B major triad is composed of B-D#-F#, and since G# does not belong to B major, it is not possible (in my opinion) to write a consonant triad in B major with G# in the soprano.

Thank you

B major doesn't include G#?

Are you sure?

B major has in its key signature: F#_C#_G#_D#_A#

Is it possible that the teacher specified creating a triad with G# in the soprano but intended it in the key of B major, which doesn't necessarily mean starting with B in the bass?

If you write G# in the soprano, in the bass you could have C#, in the tenor E, C# in the alto and G# in the soprano—the second degree of B major; perhaps that is what was intended.

You see, perhaps you took what you wrote too literally, meaning starting with B in the bass, when instead he meant the key of B major.

I am reporting in exercise 1.b

The fifth degree can never be a minor triad (it contains the leading tone), so if it is Ab-, which is correctly a minor triad, it cannot be the fifth of Db (neither major nor minor) or rather, there exists a minor fifth used in descending chromaticism... but it is an unusual chord or not directly linkable to a precise key, as per the exercise. Perhaps something like the II of Gb is expected

At a quick glance, in 3/4 time there is a problem with the II degree, which should actually be an inversion of the VII degree triad. To better understand the error, towards the end you correctly indicate the II degree; please verify the notes.
