Answer:

The last foot (the anceps) always consists of two syllables so mark it so immediately. You can

regard the very last syllable as an unknown vowel length and mark it as an X (it will normally be

pronounced long no matter what)

2. The second to last foot is almost always a dactyl so mark it so immediately

3. The first syllable of every line of poetry is long no-matter-what so mark it so immediately.

4. The thesis (first syllable) of a foot is always long

5. The arsis (the second half) of a foot will either be one long or two shorts: there can be no

mixing and matching in the second half of the foot

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: Writers often find the need to use adjectives and adverbs when:___,would be, B: They fail to choose concrete nouns and vigorous verbs in their sentences.

Explanation:

In writing, one thing that is vital to bear in mind always, is the connection that exists, innexorably, between nouns, verbs and objects. If this connection is severed, with the use of incorrect nouns, or verbs, most especially, then a text may lose its structure, and ultimately, its very purpose. Using concrete nouns allows a reader to immediately understand what the writing is about, and focus on it. He does not need to lose focus by wondering who the story is about. In the case of vigorous verbs, these give the action power, and make a story interesting and captivating. However, because many writers fail in the correct choice of these, and lose the link between the three major factors: noun, verb and object, they find themselves in the need for extra use of adjectives and adverbs to clarify their story and make it appealing to the reader.
