Please include the passage and the statements, if the question is multiple choice.
Answer:
The first section of an elegy expresses sorrow for the deceased.
The last section of an elegy expresses consolation and comfort.
Explanation:
Elegies are narrative poems written after the death of a person. This poem acts as a means to mourn the death or passing of that person, and acts as a mournful song for the deceased.
Elegies are normally written in such a way that the beginning part expresses the pain and sorrow felt by the speaker at the death of the person. It then moves on to express consolation and comfort towards the end of the poem. Most famous elegies are "O Captain! My Captain!" by Walt Whitman written for Abraham Lincoln and W.H. Auden's "In Memory of W.B. Yeats".
I think the answer is c. what do I believe in-fate or that events happen by chance?
Well, you didn't provide us with the verse, but I can still explain what an iambic pentameter is.
It is a type of a line that Shakespeare always used in his poems and plays. Iambic refers to the sequence of stress in syllables - the first syllable is always unstressed, and the second one is stressed, and so on in the entire line. Pentameter refers to the number of syllables in each line, which there are 10. Penta in Latin means 5, meter consists of 2 syllables, so 5*2 = 10.
