Question

The poetic foot and the length of line make up the ____ of the poem.

Answer 1

I am absolutely sure that he poetic foot and the length of line make up the meter of the poem. This option is the only proper one because metre is on of the basic rhythmic structure of lines in verse, so I bet it's obvious now. I do hope you will find it helpful : )

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Meter

Explanation:

In poetry the structure of verses or the way verses are constructed is determined by length of lines which is linked to the numbers of syllables in each verse and the way these syllables are combined in stressed and unstressed combinations (poetic foot). This structure and the possible combinations that emerged from the use of different poetic feet and the length of lines or verses is called the meter. Additionally, the meter provides poetry with a rhythmic structure as different combinations create different types of flow or cadence in verses and in some cases it also provides rhyme patterns (repetition of sounds). Thus, the poetic foot (the combination of stressed and unstressed syllables) and the length of lines (number of syllables per verse) make up the meter of the poem.
