Question

Analyze the foot of the following word. Use a dictionary if necessary.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Iambic

Explanation:

The "foot" of a word, phrase or verse refers to the structure this has especially in terms of the number of syllables and the pattern of stressed and unstressed this form that lead to different structures or metrical feet including the iambic feet that combines a unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable or the trochaic that includes first a stressed syllable and then an unstressed syllable. This implies in the case of the word "above" this word has two syllables "a/bove" and the stressed or long syllable is "-bove" and therefore the foot, in this case, is iambic that as the word "above" contains first an unstressed or short syllable and then a stressed syllable.

Answer 2

It's iambic, because the stress is on the latter beat
