Which line is an example of iambic pentameter?
andreev551 [17]

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene

This line is iambic pentameter. Iambic pentameter is a line with 5 iambs, which equals 10 syllables. The syllables for this line are In/ fair/ Ver/on/a/ where/ we/ lay/ our/ scene/. An iamb is a metric foot that is made of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable.

Option A and B are the only lines that have 10 syllables. Option B begins with a stressed syllable not an unstressed syllable so it is not an option. Also, Option A is the first line of the prologue for Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare is famous for using iambic pentameter in his sonnets and plays.
