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

Kronos was a ruler and a great fortune. He has five children. He is afraid of his wealth. I think his children will take his for
yKpoI14uk [10]

"Kronos was the ruler of the Titans, and he had great power and fortune. He had five children, who would eventually become the Olympians, and he is afraid of his children taking his power away from him. To prevent that, he decided to get rid of his children by taking every child and throwing them into a deep, deep well. However, his wife Rhea took them from the well and smuggled them to another town, but over time Kronos learned of their presence in another town and swallowed them whole. Luckily, Rhea was able to smuggle Zeus away safely before his father swallowed him, replacing him with a bundle of rocks. Metis, his caretaker while on the mortal world, knew about Kronos and his plot and told Zeus to pretend to serve him his food and drink, secretly poisoned by a poisoned flower. When Kronos swallowed the flower, he vomited his children out whole, who teamed together and overthrew him. Kronos's insecurity led to his demise." I edited and remade some parts to be more accurate. Some of your story was a little off so I fixed and rewrote it for you.
