The answer is: D. A line of iambic pentameter contains five feet, with the unstressed syllable following the stressed syllable.
Iambic pentametric is a traditional kind of metric line in English poetry and verse. It involves a line of five feet or syllables - one unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one.
The rest of the alternatives are incorrect because they refer to three, four and six feet, and some of them state that the unstressed syllable comes after the stressed syllable.
A noun phrase is formed by a noun or pronoun, this one receives the name of the head, and any dependent words before or after the head. Dependent words are the ones that give specific details about the head. An example of a noun phrase can be: <em>a quantifier + a determiner + an adjective + a noun.</em> However, there are some others that are longer and with more dependent words.

Answer:
In her poem, "In a Queen's Domain", Piatt seems to be inferring that the world is not always perfect.
<u>“And my subject, the dove, coos on, / Though my hand creep close to her nest.”</u> tries to show that the world is made up of both the good and the bad people. The dove signifies the people that have a pure heart even though they are surrounded by people that seek to hurt them. The hand creeping close to the nest signifies the people that try to take advantage of the pure heart of the doves.
Piatt is depicted as imperfect and human because she conveys her realist views about nature and society. She does not seem interested in adhering to the romanticization of nature and women.
