Answer to Question 1

 All of their phrases can be related to the four- and six-feel beat.

Answer to Question 2

 There are three binary beats occurring at the same time two of the ternary beats are occurring. (Compare the six- and four-feel beats in the diagram above. 3:2 is occurring twice during each four- and six-feel beat: once during background units 1 2 3 4 5 6 and again during background units 7 8 9 10 11 12.) This is the power 3:2. (Be on the look out for other notated examples with rhythms based on 3:2 throughout the chapter.)
Background units: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Four-Feel Beats:

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
