The meter, if any, from the line is ?<br> A waste of breath the years behind
brilliants [131]
Yes, there is a meter to this line.
Given that there are 8 syllables in this line, that would mean this is a tetrameter. One meter consists of 2 syllables, so if there are 8 syllables in a line, that would mean there are 4 meters, which in literature is called a tetrameter.
Also, when you take into consideration the unstressed and stressed syllables, you see that here the sequence goes: unstressed, stressed, unstressed, stressed, etc. which are qualities of iamb.
So, this line is written in<u> </u><u>iambic tetrameter. </u><u />

After he was caught lying on the stand, the discredited witness left the courtroom in humiliation. what does discredited mean? h
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

having a damaged reputation

Explanation:

discredited means to lose your respectability.

Using context clues, why would the witness have left the courtroom in humiliation? It can't be because they have good judgment or that they were honorable. That leaves "sorrowful" and "having a damaged reputation." Having a damaged reputation is more tied to humiliation, but if you didn't pick up on that, credited means of respect and the opposite most closely means having a damaged rep.
