Answer:

- It has iambic pentameter.

Explanation:

Blank verse is elucidated as the literary device that involves a regular iambic pentameter(consists of five iambic feet(an unstressed or short syllable followed by a stressed or long syllable)).

In the given excerpt from Robert Frost's 'Mending Wall', <u>the use of 'iambic pentameter'(five metrical feet') makes it fall in the category of blank verse and helps the poet to create the desired rhythm and mood to convey the intended message effectively</u> ('remove the barriers(walls) that prevent socialization or human interaction) to the audience<u>.</u> The poet feels that 'walls are not good for humans as it promotes isolation and segregation.

The chapter begins with Bradford referring to the resolution of some troubles. The boat the Separatists had set out from England on, the Speedwell, had developed leaks, so the passengers transferred to the Mayflower, which was a cargo ship. This was uncomfortable fit for the people on board.

the intention of the author was to show everyone the life conditions Pilgrims had at that time, feel free to take advantage of that to explain and deep dive in the intention of the book.
