Hey there!

Trochaic tetrameter (try saying that five times fast) is a line of a poem that usually contains about eight syllables that goes in the pattern stressed, unstressed, stressed, unstressed, etc.

But, look at the syllable count for each of the answer options!

A: 10 syllables

B: 8 syllables

C. 10 syllables

D. 10 syllables

So, we immediately see that the correct answer is B, and this fits our stressed, unstressed pattern because you say it like PEter PEter PUMPkin EATer. If you try doing this with the other answer options it sounds really stupid, I tried it and it sounds pretty weird XD

Therefore, the answer is B. Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater.

Have a wonderful day!

Answer:

Being rootless doesn't mean I don't belong to any one place; it means I choose to belong to many.

Explanation:

The word 'rootless' means homeless or wanderer who does not have a permanent home or place to live. He lives at different places at different time.

In the context, the author tries to convey the message that he is a wanderer and does not have a permanent settlement place. He had lived at different places all over his life. So he does not belongs to a particular place but all places belongs to him.

He emphasize this by saying that being homeless or unsettled at a particular place does not mean that he don't belong to any one of the place, but he means he can choose to belong to may places or countries.
