A poetic foot is a combination of stressed and unstressed syllables. Look at the first stanza of “The Raven” and identify the ty

pe of poetic foot being used.
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“'Tis some visitor, “I muttered, tapping at my chamber door —
Only this, and nothing more.”

Note the type of foot. Then, in two to three sentences, explain your answer using examples from the poem.

Answer:

Trochaic Octameter.

Explanation:

Trochaic octameter is the poetic foot of a line in poetry where there are eight feet/ syllables per line. The foot of each word has two syllables where a stressed syllable is followed by an unstressed syllable.

In the given poetry of Edgar Allen Poe, the lines all contain stressed syllables followed by unstressed syllables, alternating between the two. This is evident in the first lines of the poem-

<em>Once</em><em> up</em><em>on </em><em>a </em><em>mid</em><em>night </em><em>drear</em><em>y, </em>

<em>while </em><em>I </em><em>pond</em><em>ered </em><em>weak</em><em> and </em><em>wear</em><em>y,</em>

The ones in bold signify the stressed syllables while the rest are the unstressed syllables.

Answer:

d or c, but probably c

Explanation:

d makes sense cause that man would be wasting the other's time as before it had stated he was busy, but he still went to help that man but he just didn't want to pay the set price

it could've also have been c which would be because the man was wasting the others time because he didn't want to hand over his money

b wouldn't be right because even if they are different they are still important and a wouldn't be right cause the man hasn't paid

What is one example of nonverbal communication in Kennedy's address at Rice University?
Kaylis [27]

As you may know, nonverbal communication is communication that happens without words.  Nonverbal communication can be anything from eye contact (or lack of eye contact) to facial expressions and gestures.  When one views the speech that President Kennedy gave at Rice University, he can be seen to frequently use his right hand to point down toward the podium or to pound his fist into the podium.  This nonverbal communication—the gestures President Kennedy makes with his right hand— communicates a determination and confidence that reinforces what he was communicating in his speech that the United States was determined to go to the moon and confident it would do so.
