Answer:

B. Fantastic ways to make a fortune now

Explanation:

In poetry, an iamb is a metrical foot (a group of syllables) that has one UNSTRESSED syllable followed by a STRESSED syllable. There are six types of iamb and its classification is based on the number of iambs there is per lines: dimeter (two iambs per line), trimester (three iambs), tetrameter (four iambs), pentameter (five iambs) or hexameter (six iambs).

From all the choices, option B is the only line that is made of iambs because it has the syllable pattern of iambs: unstressed, stressed, unstressed, stressed... Check it in the following sentence where all stressed syllables are underlined, and all unstressed syllables are not underlined:

B. Fantastic ways to make a fortune now

Furthermore, this line is a pentameter because it consists of five iambs.

Folklore can be described as the dissemination of any type of information through oral communication or through leading by example. This information will represent the collective ideas of a certain group of people and can be transmitted through mediums such as literature or knowledge. Nowadays the world has morphed into a technologically advanced sphere where all information can be acquired at the touch of a button. This however doesn't change the definition of folklore, it only changes the medium through which we share the information.

Peru is known for _____. the Incas its love of baseball llamas Machu Picchu

yanalaym [24]

The safest answer is Macchu Picchu - it's very famous and it's located in Peru, so no other country is known for it.

But Macchu Picchu is built by the Incas - so it's a correct answer too!

The llama is also a characteristic animal for Peru- ut not exclusively of Peru. It's also present in Bolivia, Chile and Argentina

The only option that is not correct is "its love for baseball" - baseball is not speficically popular in Peru, and soccer is their prefer ed sport.
