The correct answer is the last one, it contains five feet, because 'penta' means five.

<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.

Write at least 5 opinions based on the coming 2020 national elections​
matrenka [14]
With the country in the midst of a recession, nearly eight-in-ten registered voters (79%) say the economy will be very important to them in making their decision about who to vote for in the 2020 presidential election – the top issue of 12 included in the survey.

The economy is consistently a top voting issue. In a survey asking a similar, though not identical, list of issues in June 2016, the economy also was the top voting issue.

In the current survey, 68% of voters say health care is very important to their vote, while 64% cite Supreme Court appointments.

As the country continues to grapple with the coronavirus outbreak, 62% of voters say the outbreak will be a very important factor in their decision about who to support in the fall.

About six-in-ten (59%) say violent crime will be very important to their 2020 decision, and 57% say this about foreign policy.
