In iambic pentameter, each verse consists of five metrical feet. Meter is a poem's rhythm, and feet are units of that rhythm.
In an iamb, an unstressed syllable is followed by a stressed syllable, as in the word "hello."
"Penta" means five, so a verse of iambic pentameter has five iambs.
Five pairs of unstressed syllables followed by stressed syllables.
Five pairs gives a total of ten syllables. So the answer is B, "each line contains ten syllables."

Answer:
D.
Explanation:
"Cave Art May Have Been Handiwork of Neanderthals" is an article written by Christopher Joyce. The article speaks about the new discoveries that scientists have made regarding cave art situated in Spain.
The author said in the article that these arts in the cave found in Spain were first attributed to Africans and that the arts must have been painted some 45,000 years ago. But with new technology, scientists are claiming that these arts are the work of some 65,000 years ago and at that time Neanderthals were assumed to exist. So, scientists with new technologies have proved their previous claims false.
<u>In the conclusive paragraph of his article, that is paragraph 17, Joyce says that the final credit of these arts depends on the new technologies. This means that the technologies used by scientists to date the cave art are not accurate</u>.
So, the correct answer is option D.
