Hey there!
Trochaic tetrameter (try saying that five times fast) is a line of a poem that usually contains about eight syllables that goes in the pattern stressed, unstressed, stressed, unstressed, etc.
But, look at the syllable count for each of the answer options!
A: 10 syllables
B: 8 syllables
C. 10 syllables
D. 10 syllables
So, we immediately see that the correct answer is B, and this fits our stressed, unstressed pattern because you say it like PEter PEter PUMPkin EATer. If you try doing this with the other answer options it sounds really stupid, I tried it and it sounds pretty weird XD
Therefore, the answer is B. Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater.
Have a wonderful day!
The sentence that has an error in subject-verb agreement is D. The man, in the next apartment, as well as the people across the hall, have lived in the building since 1960.
Subject-verb agreement means that the subject of a sentence and the verb must agree in number. That is to say, both of them need to be singular or plural. In sentence D, the subject of the sentence is "the man" and the verb is "have lived". As the sentence refers to one man, the verb should be "has lived" in order to agree in number with the subject.
I am pretty shore the answer is A
Answer:
The main idea of the paragraph is:
A. Many Greek towns held sporting events with similar games.
Explanation:
When writing a paragraph, we mention the main idea along the first lines and then develop and support that idea in the following lines. In the paragraph we are analyzing here, the author's main idea is expressed in the very first sentence, "The Panathenaic Games was only one of several great religious sporting events held in Greece." From that point on, the author mentions the other several games that were held in Greece. He/She does include minor facts such as the cities where they were held, who could participate, and what sort of differences there could be between them. But the main reason for mentioning all those games is to provide evidence and support to the main idea that the Panathenaic was only of several sporting events.
