Which characteristic of "Sonnet XII" shows that the poem is a

English

The correct answer is D. It is written in iambic pentameter.

Explanation

A sonnet is a type of fourteen-line poem written in iambic pentameter. The iambic pentameter as its name implies is the sequence of five iambs. An iamb is an unstressed (symbolized with x) syllable followed by an accented one (symbolized with /).

Another characteristic of the sonnet is a structure of two quartets and two triples, that is, the first four lines rhyme, the next four lines rhyme, the next three lines rhyme, and the last three lines rhyme.

According to the above, the Sonnet XII by William Shakespeare is a sonnet because its first four verses rhyme with its last words: time, night, prime, and white. The second quartet also rhymes with words: leaves, herd, sheaves, and beard.

First triple rhyme with words make, go, forsake; second triple rhyme with words: grow, defense, and hence.

Also, if we examine any verse we can confirm that it was written in iambic pentameter, for example:

When(x) I(/) do(x) count(/) the(x) clock(/) that(x) tells(/) the(x) time(/).

So, the correct answer is D. It is written in iambic pentameter.

Is this sentece punctauted correctly? i came home late; therefore, i didnt see aunt matildia
Darina [25.2K]
No, the sentence given:
_________________________
"<span>i came home late; therefore, i didnt see aunt matildia" — is NOT punctuated correctly.
____________________________________________
The word: "didnt" should be replaced with: "didn't" (note the added "apostrophe")—or rewritten as two word: "did not". 

Furthermore, there should be a "period" at the end of the sentence.
___________________________
As far as other grammar errors are concerned, the second instance of the use of the personal pronoun, "I"—is incorrectly written in the lower case: "i"—and should be replaced with the capital letter, "I". Furthermore, "</span>aunt matildia" should be rewritten with a capital letter "A" replacing the word: "aunt" [the word: "aunt" should be changed to "Aunt"], and the name: "matildia" should be rewritten with a capital "M" replacing the name: "matildia" [the name "matildia" should be replaced with "Matildia"].  Also, if "Aunt Matildia" is, in fact, really spelled that way, than the spelling of the name should be retained.  On the other hand, if the aunt's name is actually spelled: "Mathilda"—or some variant, then the proper spelling should be used—and the first letter should be capitalized.
