Which characteristic of "Sonnet XII" shows that the poem is a

Vlad [161]

The correct answer is D. It is written in iambic pentameter.

Explanation

A sonnet is a type of fourteen-line poem written in iambic pentameter. The iambic pentameter as its name implies is the sequence of five iambs. An iamb is an unstressed (symbolized with x) syllable followed by an accented one (symbolized with /).

Another characteristic of the sonnet is a structure of two quartets and two triples, that is, the first four lines rhyme, the next four lines rhyme, the next three lines rhyme, and the last three lines rhyme.

According to the above, the Sonnet XII by William Shakespeare is a sonnet because its first four verses rhyme with its last words: time, night, prime, and white. The second quartet also rhymes with words: leaves, herd, sheaves, and beard.

First triple rhyme with words make, go, forsake; second triple rhyme with words: grow, defense, and hence.

Also, if we examine any verse we can confirm that it was written in iambic pentameter, for example:

When(x) I(/) do(x) count(/) the(x) clock(/) that(x) tells(/) the(x) time(/).

So, the correct answer is D. It is written in iambic pentameter.

During am exam you are asked to write one paragraph describing a character from one of your favorite novels which outline format

sergejj [24]

1. You might want to lead with the name, which is might already clear out if it's a man or a woman. it might save you a few words.

Then you want to add a reference, maybe the novel or world that your favorite character is from, the ethnicity or race, geographic location or where the character lives now.

Then you might add what is the character's occupation. Maybe add the character's passion as well. Try to be concise.

In the end, you might want to list what you find interesting about the character. Achievements, hobbies and so on.

Here is a quick example:

Legolas is an elven prince of the Wood Elves of northern Milkwood. He in first appears in The Lord of the Rings books and pairs with the Fellowship of the Ring to save the Middle Earth from a dark lord. He is also a great warrior, an amazing archer and a very good friend. Eventually, becomes the best friend of a dwarf named Gimli, even thought dwarves and elves hate each other.
