Which one of these lines uses iambic pentameter

English
2 answers:

Iambic pentameter is fives sets of iambs, or one unstressed followed by one stressed.

The only choice that matches that description is option A. 
The others all start with a stressed syllable, so they can not be iambs.

Hope this helps =)

A pentameter is a line in verse consisting of five metrical feet.

Iambic pentameter is one of the most commonly used meters in English poetry. It is a metrical foot in poetry that refers to the number of syllables in a line and the emphasis placed on them. According to this pentameter, an unstressed syllable is followed by a stressed syllable.

According to this, the line that uses iambic pentameter is option A "Is Martin Lewis going mad, my dear?" because it presents an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one.

Which statement best explains how Lowell uses the aquarium and the statue of Colonel Shaw as symbols?
docker41 [41]

Answer:

The answer is Both the aquarium and the monument are architectural structures that have been destroyed or almost destroyed, and are symbols for a decent past.

Explanation:

"For the union dead" is a book written by Robert Lowell and was published by Farrar, Straus, and Giroux in 1964 and it was Lowell 6th book.  Colonel Shaw was an American officer who fought during the American civil war for the Union Army. He was an abolitionist and commended the first all-black regiment.  

Lowell wrote the poem For the Union dead with his early days reminisces of an Old Boston Aquarium built near Colonel Shaw figurine to enhance its beauty.  In his book, he talked about how men fought for equality and American dreams during the ancient days but their sacrifices have faded away since capitalism had taken over American society.

How can we prevent language fossilization?​
barxatty [35]

Answer:

The current understanding is that those who are learning the language within a native environment are less likely to fossilize, and at a minimum have a higher threshold at which they fossilize.

We can prevent the formation of fossilization effectively.
