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'.

The metamorphosis is considered one of the first stories written in which genre of literature
Furkat [3]

Answer:

a.Magical realism

Explanation:

The metamorphosis is a novel that involves different themes as the absurdity of life, alienation, and satire or dark humor. We can put the novel in a very specific movement called "<em>Modernism</em>" in the late 19th and early 20th century. In this literary movement we can find this piece of literature in the "<em>absurdist fiction"</em>, when we talk about "<em>absurdist fiction</em>" we find the main problem that Kafka uses in the metamorphosis: the study of human behavior under certain circumstances that are purposeless or absurd as we see the character of Gregor Samsa fighting with himself as he became an insect. This "<em>absurdism</em>" is a type of fiction and we can include this story in the gender of Magical realism because it's the closest one with the absurdist fiction. Because of this, it is not in <u>nonfiction</u> and not in <u>science fiction</u> because it is considered a novel it is not <u>epic poetry</u>. Finally, <u>magical realism</u> it's a very new concept in literature and it's more associated with Latin American literature, for this reason, but we can put Kafka's work in this genre.

Read the excerpt from Ernest Hemingway’s “Soldier's Home.” Nothing was changed in the town except that the young girls had grown
nasty-shy [4]

The author's short, descriptive sentences reflect Krebs’s thought process and his feelings about the girls, as stated in the first option and explained below.

<h3>What do the short sentences reflect?</h3>

The use of short, descriptive sentences can have varied purposes in literature. In this case, we must analyze what the purpose is in this excerpt from Ernest Hemingway’s “Soldier's Home.”

Notice that the sentences are showing us what going through Krebs's mind. In other words, we are shown his thought process. He seems to be quickly analyzing and judging what he sees - in this case, the girls. He rapidly goes from one thought to the next, judging and making conclusions about his feelings toward the girls.

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the first answer choice is the correct option for this question.

The gate swung silently inward “there had never been a gate here before” thought Bella..... Can someone make a suspenseful 300 w
enot [183]

Bella   ran   out the  house  towards  the  woods  to  look  for  shelter.  It  was  a  dark,  silent  night  of  October...One  could  hear  the  owls  and  wolves  in  the  distance.


She  ran  untiringly  until  she  arrived  to  a  hill.  "How  strange"  she  thought  to  herself,  when  she  saw  a  brown  wooden  gate  that  lead  inside  the  hill.  The  gate  had  a  green  light  on  top  and  a  "Warning"  sign  sticked  to  it.


The  gate  swung  silentry  inward  "There  had  never  been  a  gate  here  before"  thought  Bella,  although  she  felt  extremely  curious  about  it  and  she  decided  to  open  it.


It  was  completely  dark  inside,  Bella  could  not  even  see  her  hands  and  she  felt  like  it  was  a  dream,  like  suddenly  nothing  existed  anymore.  After  a  few  minutes  of  being  in  complete  trance,  she  heard  rain  falling  and  suddenly  she  remembered  she  was  in  this  weird,  dark  place  that  seemed  to  had  appeared  out  of  nowhere.   "I'll  go  out  and  try  to  find  another  place  to  stay"  she  thought,  "this  place  is  too  scary".


Nevertheless,  the  second  she  turned  to  the  door  trying  to  go  out,  the  door  slammed,  making  a  very  loud  noise.  Bella  tried  to  open  it  but  it  was  stuck.  Suddenly,  a  path  of  lights  appeared  and  Bella  decided  to  follow  it,  thinking  that  perhaps  she  could  find  another  exit.


After  walking  for  miles,  she  finally  saw  a  way  out  to  that  place.  There  was  another  door,  similar  to  the  one  she  entered  first.  She opened  it  and  she  was  thrown  to  a  forest,  "This  place  looks  familiar"  she  thought  to  herself  and  decided  to  go  take  a  look.  The forest  was,  indeed,  identical  to  the  one  where  she  lived;  The  only  difference  was  that  there  was  a  river  in  this  new  forest,  which  did  not  exist  at  her  home  town.  The  water  was  crystal  clear  and  she  could  see  her  reflection  on  it...  "AAH!"  Bella  screamed  when  she  saw a  shadow  behind  herself  and  quickly  look  behind...  Someone  had  been  following  her...
