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>

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The overview of the given problem is outlined in the following section of the explanation.

Explanation:

Dear Sir/Ma'am,

As you were conscious that I've been struggling with such an infection or disease for a long period that has remedied the time I generally spend on my research. I hope you know that I had all my projects sent long before the actual deadlines throughout the past.

It would sincerely value your decision to forgive my failure to come up with a proposal. In my view, any sort of extension would have been a tremendous benefit.

Thank You.

Pick the words that correctly complete the sentence. Natasha had _____ for half an hour before her friend arrived. been waiting
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Natasha had <u>been waiting</u> for half an hour before her friend arrived.

Explanation:

The tense we are looking for here is the past perfect continuous. It shows that an action that started in the past continued up until another moment or action in the past. In this particular sentence, we have two actions: Natasha waiting, followed by her friend arriving. As both actions took place in the past, one before the other, we have to use the combination of the past perfect (in this case continuous) and past (simple) tense.

Construction of the past perfect continuous tense: had been + the verb's present participle (root + -ing).
