Answer :

In music, different tempos are associated with different speeds. Here are the musical terms that correspond to the actions described in the list: 1. A dog running - Presto (very fast) 2. A kangaroo hopping - Allegro (fast and lively) 3. A turtle moving - Largo (very slow) 4. A firetruck going to a fire scene - Accelerando (gradually getting faster) 5. A running horse - Presto (very fast) 6. An old man walking - Andante (at a walking pace, moderately slow) 7. A bird flying - Allegro (fast and lively) 8. An airplane running on the runway - Ritardando (gradually getting slower) These terms help musicians express the speed at which a piece of music should be played. They provide a clear indication of the tempo and mood that the composer intended for the music.
