In iambic pentameter, each verse consists of five metrical feet. Meter is a poem's rhythm, and feet are units of that rhythm.

In an iamb, an unstressed syllable is followed by a stressed syllable, as in the word "hello."

"Penta" means five, so a verse of iambic pentameter has five iambs. Five pairs of unstressed syllables followed by stressed syllables.

Five pairs gives a total of ten syllables. So the answer is B, "each line contains ten syllables."

Are the phrases "very exciting" and "very interesting" the same
prohojiy [21]

No, because excitement is an emotion. When something is “very exciting” it causes extreme joy. Interest is something that makes you curious. When something is “very interesting” it causes one to seek out more information, which in some scenarios may cause excitement.

Answer:

The correct answer is <u>A</u>: to present a contrast between black and white schools.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the author compares two schools; Washington Elementary and  Elyton Elementary. He describes Arnetta's impressions when she came into Washington Elementary, as it was quite different from schools for white people. Teachers were all black, the classrooms were too crowded and poorly equipped. She is disappointed and tries to believe that black students will be able to attend schools for white children.

<em>We've Got a Job: The 1963 Birmingham Children's March</em> is a book written by Cynthia Levinson, which tells a story about children's fight against racial segregation. A group of elementary and high-school students protest segregation and get arrested in Birmingham, Alabama.
