Question

Which statements about iambic pentameter are true? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Yes to the first one.
yes to the second
no to the third statement
no to the fourth and
yes to the last.

there are two syllables to a foot ( I think you are calling it an iamb for some reason) and there are five feet in a line. (pentameter... pentameter means five). ten syllables total. and yes, Shakespeare used it in his sonnets. that's why we learn about it in school.
