Answer 1

Answer:

Pentameter is the meter form where there are five metrical feet/ beats in a given line of poetry. And this style has different forms namely iamb, trochaic, dactylic, and anapestic.

Iambic is the number of feet used in a line of poetry. In this pattern, the unstressed syllable is followed by a stressed syllable. And in this form of metrical feet, the line contains five stressed syllables and five unstressed syllables.

Alexander the Great had the whim, with the stressed syllables in bold.  

The line "Alexander the Great had the whim" is an example of iambic pentameter.
