Which sentence is consistently iambic?A.Betty told me secrets.B.Give me your sympathy.C.Understand pirouettes.D.Jamal reques
Bad White [126]

Answer:

The sentence that is consistently iambic is:

D. Jamal requests a pen.

Explanation:

<u>We can define iamb or iambic foot as a sequence consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. Therefore, if we highlight the stressed syllable in each line, we will be able to verify which one is iambic:</u>

A.Betty told me secrets.

B.Give me your sympathy.

C.Understand pirouettes.

<u>D.Ja</u><u>mal</u><u> re</u><u>quests</u><u> a </u><u>pen</u><u>.</u>

<u>The only sentence that presents iambs is the last one. It contains three sequences of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one, which makes it an iambic trimeter. Therefore, letter D is the right answer.</u>

Under what circumstances (if any) is it acceptable to lie? Does "truth always prevail
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Under no circumstances should you lie. But sometimes we either lie or bend the truth. For example I stole a car and got in a car accident. I told the truth about my age and i didnt get in too much trouble. I only got driving without a license 12 hours of community service and an online driving class.

    You should never lie. Just tell the truth. It works out better in the end. And that person would be happier that you told the truth instead of a lie.
