Shalnov [3]3 years ago

Answer:

a) Blank verse.

Explanation:

Blank verse is a form of poetry writing that has no specific rhyming sequence. It may be written in iambic pentameter, meaning ten syllables in a line but at times not all lines. The unstressed syllables are followed by the stressed syllables but they do not have any rhyming sequence.

In the lines from the poem given in the question, the lines do use iambic pentameter like-

<u>Wo</u>men <u>of</u> A<u>da</u>mant, <u>fair</u> neo<u>phy</u>tes—

<u>Who</u> thirst <u>for</u> such <u>in</u>struc<u>tion </u>as<u> we</u> give,

where the underlined words are the unstressed syllables while the ones in bold are the stressed syllables.

This un-rhyming verse form is also sometimes known as the heroic verse.
