The correct answer is 1. Five, because an iamb is an unstressed syllable and a stressed syllable.
A is incorrect because that would be an anapest.
C and D are also incorrect because that is not what an iamb is.

The correct answer is <span>2. Five, because an iamb is an unstressed syllable and a stressed syllable.

An iamb is a metrical foot which consists of two syllables: the first one is unstressed, and the second one is stressed. If you count the syllables in this line, you will see that there are 10 syllables in total. Divide this by two (because an iamb consists of two syllables), and you will see that there are 5 iambs in total. 
Therefore, options 3 and 4 are incorrect. Option 1 is also incorrect because an iamb, as I already said, consists of two, not one syllable. </span>

A because the Hook has to be in the beginning to bring the reader in and make them want to read more. The hook catches or "hooks" the reader's attention when reading. That's why it's called a "hook."
