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 why the evidence provided in the text is a fallacy? The speaker uses anecdotal evidence with phras

MrRissso [65]

Fallacy is the use of faulty arguments which are not valid and as such are rendered untrue because of the way they are presented in the argument. Some fallacies look valid, but are still fallacious because they do not satisfy an important logical premise.

As a result of this, we can see that there are various types of fallacy and they include:

Fallacy of Hasty Generalisation
Argumentum ad Baculum
Argumentum ad Hominem
Slippery Slope

For example, when we use Argumentum ad Baculum (appeal to force), we try to make use of force to silence a person who has made a very valid and logical argument.

For example, when you tell a person, "I will soon slap you if you do not close up your mouth" is an appeal to force or Argumentum ad Baculum

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview so that you would get a better understanding of the concept.

Chapter 11 summary the outsiders pls

OverLord2011 [107]

Ponyboy is restricted to bed rest for a week after he wakes up from his concussion. He finds a picture of Bob the Soc in Sodapop’s high school yearbook. Bob’s grin reminds him of Sodapop’s. Ponyboy wonders if Bob’s parents hate him, saying he prefers their hatred to their pity. Looking at the photograph and remembering conversations with Cherry and Randy, Ponyboy concludes that Bob was cocky, hot-tempered, frightened, and human.

Randy arrives at the house to talk to Ponyboy and behaves with shocking insensitivity. Not thinking of what Ponyboy has suffered, Randy says he is worried about being associated with the violence. They discuss the hearing scheduled for the next day. Ponyboy, in a delirious state, says that he killed Bob himself and that Johnny is still alive. Darry asks Randy to leave.

Hope this is what u were talking about:)
