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