Answer: A. Just for a handful of silver he left us/ Just for a riband to stick in his coat

Explanation:

In poetry, we have different kinds of "feet" - the iamb is probably the most famous type. A dactyl is a kind of foot in which we have a stressed syllable followed by two unstressed ones.

The lines in option A are often used as an example of dactylic meter. They are the very first two lines in the poem "The Lost Leader", by Robert Browning. If we highlight the stressed syllables, we may observe the pattern:

Just for a handful of silver he left us

Just for a riband to stick in his coat

Cooking is a skill that you obtain through long days of practicing, for some it comes easy, for others not so much. Back nearly 5000 years ago men sat in caves cooking with sticks and stones and now we evolved and have so much knowledge and so many different ways of preparing food. More goes into it than throwing in a egg and some flour.. There are many actions you have to do as well such as stirring, mixing , and baking. My conclusion being that cooking is difficult .
