The right answer is "There are fourteen lines with five sets of stressed and unstressed syllables. "

Explanation: Iambic pentameter is a type of metric that is used in poetry and drama. It describes a certain rhythm that words establish in each verse. This rhythm is measured in small groups of syllables; these small groups are called "foot." The word iambic describes the type of foot that is used. The word pentameter indicates that a verse has five feet.  In English, rhythm is created through the use of tonicity, alternating between tonic and non-tonic syllables. An anglophone non-tonic syllable is equivalent to a classic short syllable, whereas an anglophone tonic syllable is equivalent to a classic long syllable.

Iambic pentameter is, therefore, a verse composed of five pairs of short / long syllables, or atonic / tonic syllables. If the short / long or atonic / tonic pattern were to be reversed, producing a five-pair long / short verse, or unstressed tonic / atonic, this verse would be described as an example of exchangeable pentameter

Click 10 random pictures of day to day life scenes and caption them creatively​
Ivan

Creative captions should unconventionally describe the image.

<h3>How to create creative subtitles?</h3>
  • Using imagination.
  • Explaining the images differently.
  • Creating narratives for the images.

A creative caption should tap into your imagination and explain the image differently from its real meaning. An example of this might be the caption "Deciding how to take over the world" for an image of someone writing on paper.

You didn't show the images your question refers to and so it's not possible to answer it exactly, but I used the context of your assignment to explain how to complete it. I hope it helps.
