Questions: The placement of the notes on the staff indicates duration.

The answer is False

The placement of the notes on the staff primarily indicates pitch, not duration. The vertical position of a note on the staff corresponds to its pitch, with higher positions indicating higher pitches and lower positions indicating lower pitches. The duration of a note is indicated by the shape of the note itself (e.g., whole note, half note, quarter note) and additional symbols like dots or ties, rather than its placement on the staff.
