Solution

All of the statements describe the use of harmony by twentieth-century composers:

  1. Consonant chords began to be treated as a point of arrival.
  2. They were freer in their views of what could be considered consonance and dissonance.
  3. They treated all chords as having essentially the same tension.
  4. They often used traditionally dissonant chords as stable chords.

In the 20th century, composers began to break away from traditional rules of harmony. They started to view all chords as having the same tension, rather than seeing some as needing to resolve to others. This led to the use of traditionally dissonant chords as stable chords. They also began to treat consonant chords as a point of arrival, rather than always needing to resolve to a tonic chord. Finally, they were freer in their views of what could be considered consonance and dissonance, often using dissonance to create tension and interest in their music.
