The correct answer is A. Iamb

Explanation:

One of the most important features of poetry is the meter which is the structure followed to construct each verse on a poem and that varies according to the number of syllables in each verse and whether these syllables are stressed or unstressed, this also means different combinations of stressed and unstressed syllables determine the metric of a poem. Additionally, the meter is measured by feet which are the units composed by one stressed syllable and at least one that is unstressed. In the case of English poetry the most common foot is the iamb which consists of the combination of one stressed syllable and one unstressed syllable, this is considered as the basic foot in poetry and has been widely used in poems in English; additionally, the preference for one metric or other also depends on the language and in the case of English the Iamb seems to fit with the language features. Thus, the most common foot in English poetry is the iamb.

The most common foot in English poetry is the "iamb" but dactyls are also fairly common. It really is up to the preference of the author to choose the poetic meter.

Identify a moment of irony from the Second Episode of Oedipus the King and explain why it's ironic.
anyanavicka [17]
<span>One example of dramatic irony comes when the old soothsayer visits the King. Oedipus ridicules the man because he's blind, and Tiresias in a fit of anger tells the king that though he can see he is "blind" to the truth. When Oedipus becomes blind, he finally realizes the truth of the man's words. Irony is also to be found in the fact that it is the blind man who truly sees. This is what i believe the answer is</span>

The student body will like to know when the dress code goes into effect, how students can express their opinions, and why the school principal made this decision, as shown in the first, second, and fourth answer options.

<h3>Why would students have these interests?</h3>
  • Because they need to know the reasons for the decisions that affect their lives.
  • Because they don't want to be punished for wearing inappropriate clothing.
  • Because they want to be heard.

When a decision about a group of people is made and that decision changes the way that group lives, the factors that led to that decision must be explained to the group, as well as the term of validity of the decision and the group's opinion, as they will be directly affected.

An example of this is the decision to make mandatory the use of school uniforms, which changes the way students are used to dressing at school, in addition to implying an economic and social expense.

More information about school uniforms is at the link:
