According to "The Complete Acoustic Guitar Songwriting & Melody Course 2026," when analyzing chord progressions for melodic potential, what is the primary function of a "secondary dominant" in creating harmonic tension and guiding melodic resolution?
To serve as a passing chord, offering a brief harmonic color without a significant functional pull.
To introduce modal interchange, borrowing chords from parallel minor or major keys for textural variation.
To create a sense of immediate resolution by directly preceding the tonic chord.
To temporarily tonicize a chord other than the established key's tonic, thereby increasing harmonic interest and offering a stronger pull towards its temporary target.

In the context of melodic contour as presented in "The Complete Acoustic Guitar Songwriting & Melody Course 2026," what distinguishes a "stepwise motion" melody from a "leap-based" melody in terms of its emotional impact and memorability?
Stepwise motion generally evokes a sense of calm, flow, and familiarity, making it highly singable and memorable, whereas leaps introduce surprise and emotional intensity.
Leap-based melodies are always perceived as more complex and sophisticated, while stepwise motion is considered basic and rudimentary.
Both stepwise motion and leaps contribute equally to memorability, with the primary difference being their rhythmic application.
Stepwise motion creates more dramatic tension, while leaps are inherently more predictable and easier to remember.
