Answer:

Iambic pentameter.

Explanation:

Iambic Pentameter is the construction of lines in poetry with five iambs/ metrical feet. These meter scheme is also called as pentameter, where an stressed syllable follows an unstressed syllable in all the lines.

"On First Looking Into Chapman's Homer" by John Keats is an Italian sonnet that has a perfect rhyme scheme of abbaabba for the first eight lines. the eighth line is the volta, from where the tone changes and the rhyme scheme also changes to cdcdcd.

This poem uses the iambic pentameter form of meter, whereby the lines contain ten syllables, an unstressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable. Example-

<em>Much </em><em>have</em><em> I</em><em> tra</em><em>vell'd </em><em>in</em><em> the </em><em>realms</em><em> of</em><em> gold, </em>

<em>And </em><em>ma</em><em>ny </em><em>good</em><em>ly </em><em>states</em><em> and</em><em> king</em><em>doms </em><em>seen;</em>

The stressed syllables are in bold, alternating in between unstressed syllables. Thus, the base form of the poem "On First Looking Into Chapman's Homer" is iambic pentameter.

Which of the following best describes Malachy, Sr.?
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

E. Drunken.

Explanation:

Frank McCourt's 1996 memoir "Angela's Ashes," tells the story of his own childhood, involving his father Malachy, Sr. and his mother Angela. The memoir covers the life of Frank and his family’s condition during his childhood, the stories from that time, and more majorly his own life in Limerick, Ireland.

There are many terms by which Malachy, Sr. can be described. But as the memoir presents, it is best to describe him as a drunkard. He is not pious, nor litigious or inviolate. He is somewhat of a poltroon, which is another term for a coward. But Malachy, Sr. isn't exactly a coward for even though he did not seem to do things in the right way, he still gets them done in as much as he can manage. He married Angela after being pressured and because of their Catholic faith. Moreover, he also instills the fondness of storytelling in his child and we also come to know that his drinking is a way to hide his bereavement and misfortune.

Thus, the <u>correct description for Malachy, Sr. is option E</u>.
