Read this excerpt from the poem "Prospect of the Future Glory of America" by John Trumbull and answer the questions that follow

in one or two sentences. To views far distant and to scenes more bright, Along the vale of Time extend thy sight, Where hours and days and years from yon dim pole, Wave following wave in long succession roll, There see, in pomp for ages without end, The glories of the Western World ascend. See, this blest land in orient morn appears, Waked from the slumber of six thousand years, While clouds of darkness veil'd each cheering ray; To savage beasts and savage men, a prey. Fair Freedom now her ensigns bright displays, And peace and plenty bless the golden days. In radiant state th' imperial realm shall rise, Her splendor circling to the boundless skies; Of every Fair she boasts the assembled charms, The Queen of empires and the nurse of arms.

The meter of this poem is iambic pentameter.

You can tell that the meter is in iambic pentameter because each line has ten syllables and the rhythm follows the iambic patter. This means that the stress of each syllable alternates unstressed then stressed. There are five sets of iambs (a pair of syllables: unstressed then stressed) in each line.

What is a false dilemma?
katovenus [111]

A false dilemma is a type of informal fallacy in which something is falsely claimed to be an "either/or" situation, when in fact there is at least one additional option.

The false dilemma fallacy can also arise simply by accidental omission of additional options rather than by deliberate deception. For example, "Stacey spoke out against capitalism, therefore she must be a communist" (she may be neither capitalist nor communist). "Roger opposed an atheist argument against Christianity, so he must be a Christian" (When it's assumed the opposition by itself means he's a Christian). Roger might be an atheist who disagrees with the logic of some particular argument against Christianity. Additionally, it can be the result of habitual tendency, whatever the cause, to view the world with limited sets of options.

Some philosophers and scholars believe that "unless a distinction can be made rigorous and precise it isn't really a distinction". An exception is analytic philosopher John Searle, who called it an incorrect assumption that produces false dichotomies.Searle insists that "it is a condition of the adequacy of a precise theory of an indeterminate phenomenon that it should precisely characterize that phenomenon as indeterminate; and a distinction is no less a distinction for allowing for a family of related, marginal, diverging cases."Similarly, when two options are presented, they often are, although not always, two extreme points on some spectrum of possibilities; this may lend credence to the larger argument by giving the impression that the options are mutually exclusive of each other, even though they need not be. Furthermore, the options in false dichotomies typically are presented as being collectively exhaustive, in which case the fallacy may be overcome, or at least weakened, by considering other possibilities, or perhaps by considering a whole spectrum of possibilities, as in fuzzy logic.

Analyze the foot of the following word. Use a dictionary if necessary. razor iambic trochaic
konstantin123 [22]
The word razor is trochaic because it consists of Ra - zor in which ra is accented and pronounced the clearest and loudest. If zor was accented then it would be iambic.
