If a poem has six feet how many syllables does it have

English

Dmitrij [34]4 years ago

Answer:

If a poem has six feet, it has twelve syllables.

Explanation:

In poetry, we have different kinds of feet. Since your question does not mention any specific type, let's assume it refers to the most common one, the iambic foot. A iambic foot is constituted of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. If you have an iambic tetrameter (tetra means four), that means your have 4 feet, or four pairs of syllables. If it is an iambic pentameter, you will have 5 feet. According to your question, the poem has 6 feet. Therefore, it has 6 pairs of syllables or, in other words, twelve syllables. An example of a line with 6 feet would be (the stressed syllables are in bold):

The things / which I / have seen / I now / can see / no more. -- William Wordsworth

Answer:

The question to be asked while reading a text is that 'What is the author's purpose in writing this text'?

Option (c);

EXPLANATION:

Reading is a very important approach to enhance one's comprehension skills. The most appropriate question to ask while reading a text is to understand the purpose of the author to write that text. Option A suggests how can one remember a text, which is not one's motive of reading.

Options B and D are also incorrect as they only aim at reading the text and not understating and enhancing one's comprehension skills. To improve the skills, while reading one should try to understand the purpose of the author to write the text.
