After analyzing the line "<u>And his friends were gleaming in gold and blue</u>", we can say the following about its metric foot:

The line is NOT written in iambic pentameter.

  • An iambic pentameter is a metric foot that consists of a five-time repetition of the pattern unstressed-stressed.
  • In other words, the line should have an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable, and that should happen five times.
  • An example of iambic pentameter is (the stressed syllables are highlighted):

"My grave is like to be my wedding bed."

  • However, the line we are analyzing here CANNOT be considered iambic pentameter. It does not follow the pattern exemplified above.
  • Let's highlight its stressed syllables to better visualize it:

"And his friends were gleaming in gold and blue."

Identify the​ adverbs: An unprecedented use of central bank actions is now showing itself to be increasingly ineffective.
Rudiy27
There is only one adverb in this sentence, and that is the word increasingly.
Adverbs are used to modify verbs or adjectives - and in this sentence, the word <em>increasingly </em>is used to modify the adjective <em>ineffective.
</em><em />There are no other adverbs in the sentence, so the word <em>increasingly </em>is the only correct answer.
