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.

In at least 200 words, explain the central message of Edwards's sermon.
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The sermon contains three key themes: Corrupt sinners face a fearful judgment. Time is short for the unrepentant: God's righteous wrath will come suddenly and unexpectedly. It's only God's free choice that extends the day of mercy and provides another opportunity to respond to his call.

Jonathan Edwards's sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" provides a glimpse into the way sermons were written and delivered during the Great Awakening. In this text, Edwards argues that nothing keeps wicked men out of hell, except for the pleasure of God. He is able to cast any person, at any point, into hell. God is as angry at the wicked people on Earth as he is at the wicked people in Hell, and so, they should repent soon, as they never know when their own judgement day might come.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The problem is that "a vast majority of child migrants are fleeing not poverty, but violence (Nazario)."

Explanation:

The correct answer is B because when citing a source within a text, it is important to put the quote then write the name of the source you're quoting in brackets.

The other options are incorrect because you don't cite a source more than once when doing in-text citation.

Would someone Please answer this question please will be thanked and also will pick brainly!! (please be honest)
Burka [1]
It's either the first answer or the third, here's my reasoning.

For the rhyming of I and dry, it creates a soft like tone and stands out as a rhyme. However, the number of words in each line of the stanza show the true rhythm of the poem as it is not only depicted in literally how the lines are aligned but the amount.

Therefore, if I had to choose an answer, I would choose the third option.

Hope this helps!
