<em>Iambic pentameter </em>is a line of verse in which stressed syllable is followed by an unstressed syllable. 'Penta' refers to five and 'meter' refers to measure. Therefore, it is foot or beat which have 10 syllables in each line or five iambs in each line.

For example, in <em>Ode to Autumn by John Keats </em>

“Close<u> bo</u>som-<u>friend </u>of <u>the</u> ma<u>tu</u>ring <u>sun</u>;

Cons<u>pi</u>ring <u>with</u> him<u> how</u> to <u>load</u> and <u>bless</u>

With <u>fruit</u> the <u>vines</u> that <u>round</u> the <u>thatch</u>-eves <u>run</u>…

And <u>fill </u>all <u>fruit</u> with <u>rip</u>eness <u>to</u> the <u>core</u>;”

In the above-quoted lines, each line contains five iambs.

Therefore, the statement which correctly defines the structure of the iambic pentameter meter is a line of iambic pentameter contains five feet, with the stressed syllable following the unstressed syllable.

Captain Canot describes treatment of slaves in what way? . What evidence does he use? How does he present his information?
scoray [572]

Sadly, Captain Canot didn't believe that the treatment of slaves was a problem. Like most people in his time, it was common to think of slaves as only sub-humans. To Captain Canot he was just carrying regular old cargo that just so happened to be alive and breathing.

Captain Canot was a person who captured slaves to make them work for him, he gave them little privileges and had zero qualms about it.

(I wasn't able to get access to any text for a clearcut example, but essentially you're supposed to find an example in whatever text you are reading to support that he was completely ok with slavery. Like, in what ways did he explicitly imply that slavery is a good thing, or what actions and feelings do he have towards it being a thing? And then explain it.)

Sets off appositives
N76 [4]
What sets off appositives in the sentence is the use of the quotation mark, comma (,). This indicates that the phrase is just an added information in the sentence, and if omitted will never change the whole thought or idea of the sentence. Aside from commas, parentheses or dashes can be used as well.
