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 :)

Whose job is it to evaluate the credibility of Internet-based research
icang [17]
I would say that it is the job of those who use the internet research ie such as authors to evaluate the credibility of the information gleaned from there and one way is to identify the source ie to verify it say a magazine that is a legitimate entity by calling it or say by asking someone one knows about the validity of the facts one has gathered to confirm them or at least part of them as a sample to test the validity of the whole information. Checking more than one source is a good idea too to corroborate information if much the same answer is obtained from say 2 or more sources it probably has more credibility.
