What is the predominant meter of the line "Hickory dickory dock"? ( anapestic)( dactylic)( iambic)( sporadic)

English

It is predominantly two syllables per stress, weak-strong, so it is iambic. The refrain is basically dactyllic, with an extra beat at the end, but the narrative part is iambic.

For only this line, Note the pattern of stressed syllables: 
HICK-o-ry DICK-o-ry DOCK --- that's (principally) dactylic

What type of sentence is the following
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

B. Run-On/Comma Splice

Explanation:

Fragments are incomplete sentences. They are missing one of three main elements: a subject, a verb, and a complete thought. In the given example, the sentence has a subject, a verb, and the thought is complete. We easily understand what information was given. <u>So this is NOT a fragment, option A.</u>

A complete sentence must have a subject, a verb, an object, a complete thought. As our sentence has two independent clauses, it has two complete thoughts, it is a compound sentence. <u>So this is NOT option C.</u>

A comma splice occurs when two or more independent clauses are joined by just a comma and no coordinating conjunction. In the given example there is no comma, so this is not a comma splice.

Run-on sentences have two independent clauses, but they were not properly connected, that is no mark of punctuation.  In the given example we have two independent clauses that were connected without punctuation mark or any coordinating conjunction. So this is the Run-on sentence. <u>Option B is correct.</u>

I hope it helped you :) Have a good day!
