Answer:

trochee

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have read this excerpt out loud, you have realized that the way the words were put enables you to speak a tonic syllable followed by an atonic syllable. For this reason, we can conclude that this excerpt represents a trochee. This is because the trochee is the foot of verse composed of a long syllable and another brief.
