question 6 answer is wrong.. you might want to double check your score as it clearly states that this piece is made for all soprano, alto, tenor (not tennor) and bass. not trying to be mean or anything its just it might mislead some people as to thinking that this is the correct answer.

The basso continuo is by organ and double bass; there is no harpsichord in the entire piece. Listen to it again...
