Answer:
And summer's lease hath all too short a date
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st
Explanation:
Iambic pentameter is a form of poetical writing style where there are ten syllables/ iambs / meters in a line. These words in each line will also be an alternation between an unstressed and a stressed syllable.
Among the lines given in the question, the last two lines are written in an iambic pentameter form. The lines are from William Shakespeare's "<em>Sonnet 18</em>",
And <u>sum</u>mer's<u> lease</u> hath<u> all</u> too <u>short</u> a <u>date
</u>
Nor<u> lose</u> po<u>sses</u>sion <u>of</u> that<u> fair</u> thou <u>ow'st</u>
The stressed words are underlined, thus the evident alternating unstressed and stressed meter form. Thus, these two lines are written in an iambic pentameter form.
1. What I saw in the closet left me speechless.
= subject
Here, the noun clause is <em>What I saw in the closet. </em>This clause is used as the subject of the sentence. So, you can replace the entire clause with one simple word - <em>he. </em>For example: <em>He left me speechless. </em>This way you can easily determine that the first word (or rather the entire clause in the example above) is the subject.
2. When I was six, I learned how to swim.
= direct object
The noun clause here is <em>How to swim. </em>Even though this may look like an adverbial clause, it is not because it has the function of a direct object (which only noun clauses can). You can easily determine that this is a direct object by asking the question - <em>what? </em>For example: <em>What did I learn when I was six? </em>And the answer is: <em>How to swim. </em>This way you know it is an object.
3. I was caught between what my conscience was telling me and what I wanted to do.
= object of a preposition
Here, the noun clauses are <em>What my conscience was telling me and what I wanted to do. </em>They are objects, but not regular objects (like in sentence 2 above). Given that they are located after the preposition <em>between, </em>they are called object of a preposition.
4. The scary movie I watched is what kept me awake that night.
= predicative nominative
Predicative nominative is a word, phrase, or an entire clause following a linking verb (such as to be, to seem, etc.). In the example above, the linking verb is <em>IS, </em>and the clause following it <em>What kept me awake that night </em>is the predicative nominative.

Answer:
Balboa was born in 1475 in Jerez de los Caballeros, a town in the impoverished Extremadura region of Spain. His father was believed to be a nobleman, but the family was not wealthy; like many of his class, Balboa decided to seek his fortune in the New World. Around 1500, he joined a Spanish expedition that explored the coast of present-day Colombia, then returned to the island of Hispaniola (present-day Haiti and the Dominican Republic) and sought to make his living as a farmer. After falling into debt, he fled his creditors by stowing away on an expedition carrying supplies to the colony of San Sebastian, located on the coast of Urabá (now Colombia), in 1510.
