Answer 1

(...) shifting the accent to a weak beat (also known as offbeat) instead of emphasizing the strong beat, this technique is cald syncopation

Step-by-step explanation:

most commonly music emphasizes strong beats, I.E. the times you'd tap your feet on the ground when moving it along with the music. They are usually very regular, like a heartbeat or a metronome.

Syncopation is when you move the accent around so it falls before or after the strong beat (the tick in the metronome)
