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.

Students can be an active citizen
kherson [118]
Students can be very active in their communities and countries. It can start off with doing small things like babysitting for your neighbors or to bigger things like volunteering at shelters and homes. Students can also be active citizens by doing well with school and participating in sports which in turn can benefit your community in the future. You don't even need to enroll yourself into things, just being a citizen that takes care of the community, like picking up your trash, and small things like that, even if you don't think they can.
