Most of the above passage includes descriptions of the tasks that the caretakers did for the sick, but if you look where Bradford first mentions those caretakers, you can see just how he feels about them. This phrase, "there was but six or seven sound persons, who, to their great commendations be in spoken, spared no pains, night nor day, but with abundance of toil and hazard of their own health" holds the key. If you look closely at this phrase, Bradford describes how many people acted as caretakers (six or seven) and includes a single word, "commendations," that means praise. To suggests they deserve "great commendations" tells the reader that Bradford feels like these caretakers deserve the highest praise for what they do. My answer, then, would be the word "commendations."
Answer:
When he found the eyes of Hester Prynne fastened on his own, and saw that she appeared to recognize him, he slowly and calmly raised his finger, made a gesture with it in the air, and laid it on his lips.
Explanation:
Nathaniel Hawthorne's <em>The Scarlet Letter </em>tells the story of a woman who was accused of adultery and punished for the sin in a Puritan society. The woman, Hester Prynne had to wear a scarlet letter A to indicate or 'show' everyone about the sin she had committed, and be 'showcased' in public for 3 hours every day.
The given excerpt from Chapter 3 gave details about the marketplace where Hester Prynne and her daughter were revealed and 'displayed' for everyone to see. The womenfolk took the chance to berate and gossip about her. And among the general public who had come to see Prynne was a man who Prynne seemed to recognize. But <u>he held his hands to his lips so that she will not reveal him or his secret. This gesture seems to suggest that the man wanted to keep his true identity a secret.

Since there are 8 syllables in this line, that means that this is a 'tetrameter', meaning 4 meters. 1 meter = 2 syllables.
And since the sequence of accents is: first is the stressed syllable followed by an unstressed one, it means it is a 'trochee'.
So the answer is 'trochaic tetrameter'.
