138. If a subject begins in the tonic, modulates to dominant, and returns to tonic, the answer makes the converse modulations—from dominant to tonic, and back to dominant. No new principles are involved here; two examples will be sufficient.

At § 93 (c) and § 126 will be seen a diminished fifth; at § 125 (b) a diminished fourth; and at § 132 (b) an augmented fourth, all of which are retained in the answers. We add one example of a diminished seventh—
This subject also contains a diminished fifth which is retained in the answer.
