Solution

The following statements are true of a fugue:

  • The first entrance—the subject—of a fugue is on the tonic.
  • The second voice of a fugue begins on the fifth tone of the scale.

The other two statements are not true. The principal theme or subject of a fugue can enter alone. The answer of a fugue does not begin on the same tone as the subject, it usually begins on the dominant (fifth note of the scale).
