excerpt 2: This coyness, lady, were no crime. (Andrew Marvell. "To His Coy Mistress")

Iambic trimeter- excerpt 3: In some melodious plot (John Keats, "Ode to a Nightingale")

excerpt 4: Of credit and renown (William Cowper. "The Diverting History of John Gilpin")

Explanation:

The meter of poetry is the rhythmic structure of a line in poetry. This means the beats in the line of poetry follow a certain pattern, which becomes the meter.

Iambic tetrameter consists of four iambic feet in a line, with eight syllables. On the other hand, iambic trimeter is when the line has three units, meaning six syllables.

Thus, the given lines of poetry with their respective meter patterns are as follows-

1.) Select the correct inference of the given passage from "The Cask of Amontillado."

iragen [17]

This is foreshadowing that Fortunado will not leave the vaults (C). He has become nervous about Montressor's actions and has suggested that they leave, hoping that this is all a joke. But Montressor uses verbal irony to indicate that only he will be leaving, and Fortunado will remain entombed for the insults he supposedly dealt Montressor previous to the beginning of the narrative. The second question, though it doesn't have all the multiple choice options available, suggests that Montressor is trying to flatter Fortunado to pique his interests in going down to the catacombs, even during this festival. He is playing to Fortunado's ego as a wine connoisseur.
