Answer:

1. iambic = unstressed/stressed arrangement

2. dactylic = stressed/unstressed/unstressed arrangement

3. trochaic = stressed/unstressed arrangement

4. anapestic = unstressed/unstressed/stressed arrangement

Explanation:

An iamb is a metrical foot that contains two syllables - the first one is unstressed, and the one that follows it is stressed. An example would be:

To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. (the bolded syllables are stressed).

Iamb is usually coupled with a pentameter to create iambic pentameter which Shakespeare often used in his poetry and plays.

A dactyl is a metrical foot that contains three syllables - the first one is long (stressed), and it is followed by two short (unstressed) syllables. An example would be:

Just for a handful of silver he left us and...

This is a metrical foot that is most commonly found in the English language.

A trochee is a metrical foot that contains two syllables - the first one is stressed, and it is followed by an unstressed syllable. An example would be:

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December

A trochee is a direct opposite of an iamb (being completely different from it).

An anapest is a metrical foot that contains three syllables - the first two are short (unstressed), and they are followed by a long (stressed) syllable. An example would be:

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house

Just like a trochee is a direct opposite of an iamb, anapest is a direct opposite of a dactyl.

Hope this helps :)

It's exciting is to thrill as difficult is to ?????
BabaBlast [244]
<span>This is an analogy that you need to complete in order to see what the final word should be. So, exciting is an adjective that describes the noun thrill. So, in order to finish the analogy, you need a noun that the adjective difficult refers to. That noun could be ordeal, hardship, trouble, torment, torture, etc. You need a word that means "something difficult," so any of those words could be the correct answer.</span>
