Answer:

C) He is in anguish over love

Explanation:

Petrnet's Sonnet 28 shows an anguished, sad and melancholy speaker. He is anguished about love and that is why he describes love as something suffering, executioner and cruel, which leaves you hopeless and sad. Furthermore, the speaker confesses that this melancholy appearance of love results in wild, desperate, disordered gestures that try at all costs to stop the pain that love can cause.

Match the line length to the term. 1. five feet monometer 2. one foot tetrameter 3. two feet hexameter 4. seven feet trimeter 5.
rjkz [21]

Answer:

1. five feet - pentameter

2. one foot - monometer

3. two feet - dimeter

4. seven feet - heptameter

5. four feet - tetrameter

6. three feet - trimeter

7. six feet - hexameter

8. eight feet - octameter

Explanation:

<u>This question refers to meter in poetry, which is done by counting the number of syllables.</u> However, different types of meter will count syllables in different ways. An iambic pentameter, for example, will consider an unstressed syllable plus a stressed one as one foot. Each line will repeat that pattern five times, which is why it is called pentameter.

<u>To match the columns above, we need to know the meaning of the different prefixes used:</u>

<u>mono - one</u>

<u>di - two</u>

<u>tri - three</u>

<u>tetra - four</u>

<u>penta - five</u>

<u>hexa - six</u>

<u>hepta - seven</u>

<u>octa - eight</u>

Remember that those same prefixes are used in other fields of knowledge? For instance, in geometry, a pentagon is a figure with five sides and five angles.

timofeeve [1]

Answer: B

Explanation:

"icy" when describing a person's attitude or personality means cold, rude, etc, but a smile is usually happy and warm.

Personally I don't think it's an oxymoron- it's definitely possible to do a rude, fake smile. But B is what an oxymoron is- two words that are opposite in meaning and shouldn't technically be used together- like "awfully good" or "bittersweet."
