Ionian mode has the same pattern of intervals as the white notes C to C – C major.
Aeolian has the same interval pattern as the white notes A to A – it’s a minor scale minus the raised leading note, and if you played Aeolian mode beginning on the note C it would be C, D, E-flat, F, G, A-flat, B-flat, C. So no, Aeolian mode is not the same as C major.

The first question/answer is wrong. It’s NOT ionian, it is Aeolian. Check it.

Or at the very least acknowledge that aeolian is ALSO a correct answer.

Question 12 marks you wrong when you give the correct answer (Debussy’s Clair de lune).

I know! So annoying to have a flawed score for no fault of one’s own!
