Even though you didn't give as the verse or your options, this question can still be answered nevertheless by explaining what an iambic pentameter is.

The first part of the phrase, <em>iambic, </em>refers to a type of a metrical foot known as <em>iamb. </em>It refers to the sequence of two stressed and unstressed syllables, the first one being unstressed.

The second part of the phrase, <em>pentameter, </em>refers to the meter of that particular line in a poem. One meter contains two syllables, and the word <em>penta </em>comes from Greek and means <em>five. </em>So if you multiply the two, pentameter is a line consisting of 10 syllables.

So, an iambic pentameter is a line of 10 syllables where the first one is unstressed, and the one that follows it is stressed.

Here is an example:

<em>Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?</em>

(Shakespeare often wrote in iambic pentameter)

3. Is Jessica a static or dynamic character?<br> Explain your answer.<br> What is a static character
monitta

Answer:

I don't know who Jessica is, but all characters in a story are either dynamic or static. A static character is one who doesn't undergo any significant change in character, personality or perspective over the course of a story. A dynamic character, in contrast, undergoes a major transition in one or more of these ways.

How do paragraphs 4-5 contribute to the development of ideas in the text?
MatroZZZ [7]

Paragraphs 4-5 contribute to the development of ideas in the text because they explain how the gene drive changes mosquitoes’ DNA, as stated in option B.

<h3>What are paragraphs 4-5 about?</h3>

After reading paragraphs 4-5 of the text "Gene editing wiped out a population of mosquitoes in lab tests," we can tell they contribute the development of ideas by explaining how the gene drive works.

According to the information in paragraphs 4-5, the gene drive is used to change mosquitoes' DNA so that the female mosquito will not bite or procreate. By doing so, scientists would help prevent the spread of malaria, since it is through biting that the female mosquito transmits the disease.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option B as the correct answer.

The missing paragraphs 4-5 are the following:

The researchers changed the mosquitoes’ genes with a gene drive. Gene drives use the molecular “scissors” known as CRISPR/Cas9 to copy and paste themselves into an organism’s DNA at precise locations. They’re designed to break the rules of inheritance. They can quickly spread a genetic tweak to all offspring.

The new gene drive breaks a mosquito gene called doubles∈x. Female mosquitoes that inherit two copies of the broken gene develop like males. They are unable to bite or lay eggs. Being unable to bite means they can’t spread the malaria parasite. Males and females that inherit only one copy of the disrupted gene develop normally and are fertile. Males don’t bite, whether they have the gene drive or not.

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Read the poems below and answer the question that follows.

 

“The Taxi”

by Amy Lowell

When I go away from you

The world beats dead

Like a slackened drum.

I call out for you against the jutted stars

And shout into the ridges of the wind.

Streets coming fast,

One after the other,

Wedge you away from me,

And the lamps of the city p rick my eyes

So that I can no longer see your face.

Why should I leave you,

To wound myself upon the sharp edges of the night?

“Where Have You Gone”

by Mari Evans

Where have you gone

with your confident

walk with

your crooked smile

why did you leave

me

when you took your

laughter

and departed

are you aware that

with you

went the sun

all light

and what few stars

there were?

Where have you gone

with your confident

walk your

crooked smile the

rent money

in one pocket and

my heart

in another . . .

 

Compare the two poems in terms of presentation, poetic devices, and technique.  these are the passages and the question.
