In my opinion, the correct answer is C. " I see you shining like a jewel of night".

Iambic pentameter is a rhythmic scheme that consists of five iambs - two-syllable feet that consist of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one (it sounds something like this: da DA da DA da DA da DA da DA). Therefore, this line is pronounced like this (the accentuated syllables are bolded, and slashes separate the iambs): I see / you shi / ning like / a jewel / of night.

If you were to describe something as indescribable, is it really indescribable?

beks73 [17]

Yes because “indescribable” isn’t a description.
Explanation: The exact definition of “description” is “give an account in words of (someone or something), including all the relevant characteristics, qualities, or events.”
Therefore the word “indescribable” isn’t describing anything. It’s just saying that you literally cannot do the things to make it describable (account words of quantities, characteristics, or events)
