Which meter is used in these lines from Shakespeare's Sonnet 18?

English

We know it is iambic because we are able to stress every other syllable. 


Just a little hint: Not all, but most poems are written in iambic. Even a lot of pop songs now-a-days are written in iambic meter  ;) 


I believe Shakespeare had about 150 sonnets and only a few were not written in iambic. Crazy.

Highlight the compound sentences in the following extract.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

It began its development with the velocipedes or bone-shakers of the nineteenth century, so it has a 200-year pedigree.

Yet even then riding was still unaffordable for the great majority of people, and it would take many years before bikes became cheap enough for all.

Explanation:

Compound sentences are sentences that consist of two or more independent clauses connected by a comma and conjunction or by a semicolon. There are only seven coordinating conjunctions:<em> for, and, nor, but, or, yet, </em>and <em>so.</em>

An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence. Every sentence must contain a subject and predicate and express a complete thought. Unlike independent clauses, dependent (subordinate) clauses don't fulfill these criteria, which is why they can't stand alone as sentences.

This means that you need to choose sentences that consist of more than one independent clause and no subordinate clauses. These sentences are:

  • <u>It began its development with the velocipedes or bone-shakers of the nineteenth century</u>, so <u>it has a 200-year pedigree</u>.
  • <u>Yet even then riding was still unaffordable for the great majority of people</u>, and <u>it would take many years before bikes became cheap enough for all.</u>

The underlined parts are independent clauses that make up these sentences.

Which words or phrases in the passage are allusions?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

• "Calibans"

•"Caedmon's raceless dew"

•"Alleys of Brixton"

•"Turner's ships

Answer: Options A, C, D and E.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Allusion is a type or a figure of speech where the words are used which are referring to the objects which are not related with the context. No direct meaning of such words is there.

The audience of the text have to derive the meaning of the words on their own on the basis of how they understand the meaning of the words which are referred to in that particular text.
