Answer:

<u>Iambic pentameter</u>

Explanation:

An iambic meter refers to lines of poetry containing iambs. An iamb is a metrical foot (a group of syllables) that has one UNSTRESSED syllable followed by a stressed syllable. Depending on the number of iambs that there are per line, they can be classified into dimeter (two iambs per line), trimester (three), tetrameter (four), pentameter (five) or hexameter (6).

In the passage, the meter that is most used is iambic pentameter and iambic tetrameter. To prove this, down below you'll find the passage with the stressed syllables underlined and in bold font, the ones that are in normal font, are the unstressed syllables:

From <u>forth</u> the <u>fa</u>tal <u>loins</u> of <u>these</u> two <u>foes</u> = 5

A <u>pair</u> of <u>star</u>-cross'd <u>lo</u>vers <u>take</u> their <u>life</u>; = 5

Whose <u>mis</u>ad<u>ven</u>tured <u>pit</u>eous over<u>throws </u>= 4

Do <u>with</u> their <u>death</u> <u>bu</u>ry <u>their</u> <u>pa</u>rents' <u>strife</u>. = 4

Write a dairy and behalf of the elderly grandmother describing her feeling of not living with her children and grandmother.
Monica [59]

Answer:

Dear diary,

I'm here once again, because you seem to be the only one I'm able to talk to whenever I want to, and you don't wait impatiently so you can go back to other things you're doing.

However, I miss my children and grandchildren and wish they visited more often, seeing as everyone went on their own way, as soon as they turned 18 or just after College.

I have a considerable sum of money, but I don't have happiness, I have happiness, but not the type I want. I guess he people that said money doesn't buy happiness were right after all.

Diary, you'll have to endure the ramblings of an old woman who is lonely. We'll talk again soon.

1. Abnegation are chosen to be the political leaders of society because they are the most selfless of the factions, and therefore it is thought that they will do what's best for the good of the people and will not be corrupted with power.

2. Jeanine Matthews is the sole representative of Erudite, and Beatrice's father has a dislike for her because she released a report attacking his political partner, Marcus. I believe his actions are not warranted because there is evidence supporting that what Jeanine claims Marcus did to his son, Tobias, is in fact true. However, Beatrice's father does not believe that Marcus is capable of being cruel because of his faction.
