Answer 2

Answer:

B. Irregular.

Explanation:

This passage uses an irregular meter as it does not follow a regular pattern of a combination of feet, that is to say, of stressed and unstressed syllables thorough its lines, like an anapestic, trochaic or iambic meter would follow. In the excerpt, there are stressed and unstressed syllables with no specific order, as we can note in the following passage(the stressed syllables are underlined and in bold, the unstressed ones are not):

Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard. Jealous in honor, sudden, and quick in quarrel.

The other options are incorrect because the lines do not use an anapestic meter which consists of two unstressed and a stressed syllable (dadaDUM), nor an iamb pentameter consisting of five iambs characterized that have an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable: daDUM), and neither a trochaic meter that consists of a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed one (DUMda)
