The correct answer here is B. "Though every drop of water swear against it". Iambic pentatmeter is a poetic meter that uses ten syllables on a line in five pairs of stressed and unstressed sounds. This is commonly used throughout Shakespeare's works to add a pulsing beat to the language.

Answer:

A). There are differences among recovery programs, and no single program is right for everyone.

Explanation:

The readers are most likely to infer that 'there are distinctions between the recovery programs offered by AA and LifeRing, and no single program can be right or helpful for everyone.' Each recovery program has its own motto which serves the needs of a specific group of people. Similarly, AA's motto is 'one day at a time' while LifeRing promotes idea of 'don't drink, no matter what.' John's preference for LifeRing over AA suggests the readers that different addicts require different programs to recover. It also makes them infer that 'no single program can serve the needs of everyone.' The other options are irrelevant to the central idea of the passage and therefore, option A is the correct answer.
