The correct answer is A. Ten syllables divided into pairs of unstressed and stressed syllables

Explanation:

In poetry, verses are composed of rhythmic units, which are called foot, one of the most common ones is the lamb, which is composed of an unstressed syllable and one stressed or accent syllable. Additionally, iambs can be included in different numbers which leads to a different rhythm in the poem this includes the iambic dimeter that is about creating verses by including two iambs, the iambic trimeter which is included three iambs and the iambic pentameter that means five iambs or ten syllables in which each pair is composed by one unstressed and one stressed syllable. Therefore, the description that matches the poetic form of iambic pentameter is "ten syllables divided into pairs of unstressed and stressed syllables".

'Iamb' refers to the sequence of unstressed and stressed syllables, and 'pentameter' means that there are ten syllables (penta means five, so you just multiply it by two). So the correct answer is 'ten syllables divided into pairs of unstressed and stressed syllables'.

In which sentence is the underlined clause a noun clause functioning as the subject of the sentence? Robert Campbell settled tra
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

A noun clause that is functioning as the subject of the sentence Option C: 'Whoever travels the Pelly River' follows in the footsteps of the explorer Robert Campbell.

Explanation:

A sentence can have independent clauses and dependent clauses. Dependent clause is the noun clause of the sentence which can act as subject, object or complement of verb in a sentence. Noun clause is the dependent part of the sentence which functions as a noun. It is usually introduced in a sentence by the conjunction that.  It can also be introduced by other conjunctions like if, whether, whoever, who, where, when, what etc.

Option B and D noun clauses are acting as objects of the sentence. In Option D "Whoever travels the Pelly River" emphasizes the subject of the sentence. If we ask the question "Who follows in the footsteps", Answer is 'Whoever travels the Pelly River'. So, it is acting as the subject of the verb 'follows' in the sentence.

I visited Anna at the hospital every day for the next few weeks. I saw her mood (3) _____ between anger and quit depression.
Alja [10]

Venture. This is because Flagrant is an offensive sort of behavior which would not fit this sort of statement.

Turmoil. This is because venture is to, in a sense, travel or explore or journey. Turmoil can be remembered as inner turmoil or inner disarray, a sort of chaos within oneself.

Hope this helps!
