I'm taking a comprehensive teacher's exam and studying the music section, I haven't a clue. Thanks for your help.

The three flats next to the clef sign means there are three flats in the piece and tells which key you are in.
I hope this helps!

If you have three flats in a piece then all B's, E's, and A's will be flat through the entire piece unless you have an accidental (sharp or flat) marked in the music.
