Which description matches the poetic form iambic pentameter?
A. ten syllables divided into pairs of unstressed and stressed syllables
B. couplets of trochaic feet with an abab rhyme pattern
C. four feet per line, with unstressed syllables followed by stressed syllables
D. the rhythmic pattern that is typical of ballads

Respuesta :

By definition, 'Iamb' refers to the sequence of unstressed and stressed syllables, and 'pentameter' means that there are ten syllables since penta means five. An iamb is a metrical foot that consists of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. Therefore, the answer for this would be option A. ten syllables divided into pairs of unstressed and stressed syllables. Hope this helps.
