The correct answer is B. An iamb consists of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable.
An iamb consists of two syllables, the first of which is short (unstressed) followed by a long (stressed) syllable. Shakespeare used iambic pentameter in most of his poetry, and it can certainly be found in your example - Sonnet 29 "When, in Disgrace with Fortune and Men's Eyes."

An iamb consists of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable.

Shakespeare uses iambic pentameter in most of his poetry and plays because it is the meter most similar to everyday speech. This made it easier for performers to memorize and perform. An iamb is only two syllables but Shakespeare's lines are made of 10 syllables. It's called iambic pentameter because two syllables (one unstressed and one stressed) five (penta) times equals 10 for the meter. Meter in poetry is the rhythm of the line or poem.

1. Write a composite summary of the extracts in section B in a paragraph of about TEN sentences.
Elan Coil [88]

The question asked is to assess your ability to write a summary for a given text. As this ability is a very personal thing, it's not right for me to write the summary for you, but I'll show you how to write one.

A summary is an objective, direct and precise text. He can re-present a text, showing only the most important parts. For this reason, the summary is short and quick to read.

Based on this, we can say that to write a summary, you must:

  • Read the entire text to which your question refers.
  • Identify the most important parts of this text.
  • Identify the sentences that feature these parts.
  • Rewrite these sentences, using different words, but keeping the same meaning.

In this case, you can write your summary using synonyms, that way you avoid plagiarism. In addition, you must adapt the sentences, presenting connectives between them that make the text more fluid and coherent.
