Question

Which one of these lines uses iambic pentameter?

A. Generally, fish make for rather tame pets.

B. Saachi is a good and trusted friend.

C. “Watch out!” The young women cried.

D. I think that John is looking glum to me.

Answer 1

I believe the correct answer choice is option D. I think that John is looking glum to me.

An iambic sentence should have a total of ten syllables per line. Option C. has 7 syllables, Option A. has 11 syllables, and Option B. has 9 syllables.

Hope I could help! :)
