Answer:

B. Iambic trimeter (The foot has an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. This pattern repeats three times in each line.)

Explanation:

Alfred Edward Housman's poem "<em>When I was one and twenty</em>" was a part of the collection of poems "A Shropshire Lad". This particular poem may have been written about his personal affection and one sided love of a man named Moses Jackson.

<em>"When I was one-and-twenty</em>

<em>I heard a wise man say"</em>

The lines of the poem has a difference in number of syllables. The first line has seven syllables and the second has six syllables. This keeps on alternating in the following lines till the end. So, all of the even-numbered lines contains three stressed and unstressed syllables, thus making it an iambic trimeter. This means that the foot has an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable, where this pattern is repeated three times in each line.

THE MONSTERS ARE DUE ON MAPLE STREET How did you expect the play to end? Was there a point that you thought there were not any a
Masja [62]

Answer:

1. I expected the play to end with some philosophical or moral message, as it actually ended, as it shows that alienation, paranoia and panic make people easy targets to manipulate.

2. I thought that there were no aliens when at the beginning of the play, where the neighborhood was affected by factors that can happen normally, such as the drop in electricity supply, the existence of introverted people and problems with cars and phones.

3. I believed that aliens existed when the shadow that took over the city appeared and when the aliens did appear.

Explanation:

"The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" tells the story of a city that had several problems with electricity supply and telephone and television signals, after a giant shadow overtook the city and a very strong flash was seen by all. Cars also began to malfunction, leaving all residents concerned. The townspeople started to think that this was caused by aliens and started to distrust each other, thinking that the neighbors were beings from another planet. This caused great hysteria and paranoia in everyone, driving the city into complete chaos. In the end we learned that the shadow and the malfunction of things were being caused by aliens themselves, who were trying to discover how panic and paranoia allowed human beings to be manipulated.
