Answer:

1. Spondee- two accented syllables.

2. Pyrrhic-  two unaccented syllables.

3. Iambic- one unaccented syllable followed by an accented syllable.

4. Trochaic- one accented syllable followed by an unaccented syllable.

5. Dactylic- first of three syllables accented.

6. Anapestic-  last of three syllables accented.

Explanation:

The six terms or words given in the questions are all poetic meter forms, with difference in their stressed (A) /unstressed styles (a).

1. A Spondee is when there are two stressed or accented syllables in a given line of poetry. The two syllables are right next to each other.

i.e, AA.

2. Pyrrhic is when two unstressed or unaccented syllables are together. It is the exact opposite of a spondee.

ie, aa

3. Iambic is the style where an unstressed syllable is followed by a stressed syllable. This is most common in the poems of Shakespeare.

i.e, aA.

4. Trochaic is when a stressed syllable is followed by an unstressed syllable. Again, this is the opposite of an iambic style.

i.e, Aa.

5. Dactylic is the form where the first syllable is stressed followed by two unstressed syllable.

i.e, Aaa

6. Contrary to dactylic form, this anapestic form have two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable.

i.e, aaA

Ann [662]
The Americans stopped attacking the British outside of Philadelphia after they retreated for the first time because of the weather.
It was winter, and whereas the British were warm and cozy, whereas those Americans who still wanted to fight were frozen and deprived of food and resources. Thus they decided to wait until the weather cleared and then attack their enemies.
