3 0

Answer: Dactylic meter.

Explanation:

In poetry, <em>meter</em> is the pattern of the beats. It is also referred to as a 'foot'. There are certain number of syllables in each foot (often two or three). Different types of meter have different patterns of stressed/unstressed syllables.

Dactyl meter, found in these lines from Robert Browning's poem <em>"The Lost Leader"</em>, has the first syllable stressed and the second and third unstressed.  The pattern is the following:

<em>Just</em><em> for a </em><em>hand</em><em>ful of </em><em>sil</em><em>ver he </em><em>left</em><em> us </em>

<em>Just</em><em> for a</em><em> rib</em><em>and to </em><em>stick</em><em> in his </em><em>coat.</em>

Which statement supports the credibility of the document?
densk [106]

Answer:

Credibility of documents

comprises the objective and subjective components of the believability of a source or message.

Explanation:

Credibility has two key components: trustworthiness and expertise, which both have objective and subjective components. Trustworthiness is based more on subjective factors, but can include objective measurements such as established reliability. Expertise can be similarly subjectively perceived, but also includes relatively objective characteristics of the source or message (e.g., credentials, certification or information quality).
