Explanation:

Identify the first question

The first visible question at the top is partially cut off but asks: "What is the name for the opening formal section of the first movement of Mozart's P[iano Concerto]?"
In classical concerto form (double exposition form), the first movement begins with an exposition played by the orchestra alone, which is known as the Tutti Exposition (or orchestral exposition).
This is followed by the Solo Exposition when the soloist enters.
Therefore, the correct option is "Tutti Exposition".

Analyze Question 27

At this exact moment of entrance, the piano plays the elegant theme completely alone (solo) for the first few measures before the orchestra joins back in.
Therefore, the correct option is "piano alone".
