Iambic pentameter is the form is the closest to human speech. Hence, option C is correct.

<h3>What is Iambic pentameter?</h3>

Iambic pentameter is frequently used as the preferred metrical form in traditional English poetry and verse drama. The expression alludes to the rhythm or meter that the words in that line produced; meter is measured in units called "feet," which are distinct clusters of syllables.

The simplest example of iambic verse is a human pulse, which comprises of a smaller beat followed by a larger beat: da-DUM. The pronunciation of iambic pentameter would then be "da DUM, da DUM, da DUM, da DUM."

Thus, option C is correct.

How do these two poems differ in what they emphasize?

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

B) The poet in "Old Ironsides" asks for the ship to be destroyed, while the poet in "Concord Hymn" asks that the monument stone be preserved.

Explanation:

Old Ironsides" by Oliver Wendel Holmes Sr, asks for the old ship to be destroyed or sink. We can see that the poet asks for the destruction of the ship when he says

"...No more shall feel the victor's tread,

Or know the conquered knee;-

The harpies of the shore shall pluck

The eagle of the sea!

O, better than her shattered hulk

Should sink beneath the wave;..."

We can see that the old navy had its glory days, but now it is old, and it is not of use, as it was.

On the other hand, Ralph Waldo Emerson in "Concord Hymn" asks for the monument to be preserved since it is commemorating a special event. The stone monument is there to honor and remember the heroes of a battle that happened there.

We can see that the poet asks for the monument stone to be preserved when he says,

"On this green bank, by this soft stream,

We set today a votive stone;

That memory may their deed redeem,

When, like our sires, our sons are gone.

Bid Time and Nature gently spare

The shaft we raise to them and thee."

Which of the following is a predicate?

Kamila [148]

Answer:

B. The lovely young ballet company

Explanation:

I will be completly honest! I am horrible at predicates so I looked it up and here is an example off the internet.

Here's an example. In the sentence "The wall is purple," the subject is "wall," the predicate adjective is "purple" and the linking verb is "is." So, it's subject, verb, and predicate adjective.
