C. I can think of something better to​ do, such​ as: taking a walk or reading a book.

A colon does not belong after such as because it is a redundancy. Using the phrase such as is similar to using the phrase for example. They both indicate that a list is about to follow so the colon is not needed. Options A and B need a colon for the same reason. They both are used after a complete sentence and clarify the information in the sentence. Option D uses a colon correctly because it also comes after a complete sentence before the list of items that clarify what you should bring.

Which line uses an iambic meter?
Ahat [919]

Nature, the gentlest mother of all lines uses an iambic meter.

Option C. Nature, the gentlest mother of all.

Iambic is a poetic prosodic foot composed of two syllables. A non-strong syllable is followed by a strong syllable, pronounced duh-DUH. iambus can consist of a word with two syllables or two different words.

Iambic is his two-syllable poetry unit where the first syllable is not stressed and the second syllable is stressed. Words such as "reach," "express," and "explain" are all examples of strength patterns for non-strong and strong syllables.

If a pair of syllables is arranged such that a short note is followed by a long note or a non-bang followed by a strong pattern, the foot is said to be "weak".
