Which line is an example of trochaic tetrameter?
kotykmax [81]

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!

Which statement from FDR's speeches uses parallel structure?
Zolol [24]
I'd say that the statement from FDR's speeches that uses parallel structure is C. American ships have been sunk; American airplanes have been destroyed.
Both of these independent clauses use the passive form of the verb - in the first clause, the passive form of the verb <em>to sink </em>is used, and in the second, of the verb <em>to destroy.
</em>A parallel structure means that throughout a sentence, the same form of words is used, and given that here both sentences have passive forms, I'd say C is the correct answer.<em>
